If I may, I might recommend that you mix the shot between containers with at least an N95 mask on with a fan blowing hard outside across you while you do it. The color your seeing on the shot after it comes out of the liquid is lead oxide and when your mixing it between containers your breaking it off and sending it everywhere as lead dust that will poison you. My uncle found out the hard way back in the 90's making shot and casting bullets. It darn near killed him and he has had some nasty lasting effects from it ever since. I took his lesson to heart and use the mask and only work with lead outdoors with a fan blowing across between me and the lead.
Graphite powder is great stuff. If you mix some with oil and make a paste type stuff it’s some of the best lapping compound you’ll ever find. I use it to clean up beat up threads on nuts & bolts, and lapping scope rings etc.
Very neat Thor’s axe. Cheaper and fun👍🏻 looks like you’re exploring every aspect of the reloading world. Don’t know if I’ll ever load shot but will reference your slug videos when I start casting and loading slugs. Thanks for making all this info available👍🏻
Thanks Dave. You've taken the mystery out of this process. The $ savings from this can make Trap and Skeet shooting much more affordable. Plus , it looks like fun!
Nice job Thor, I dont care about the naysayers. I'd be willing to bet you can smack down some dove. And its a hell of lot cheaper. Bags of shot are stupid expensive. I dont skeet or trap anymore, but clay targets for weekend fun and bird when in season. So its a cheaper way to go about it after the first investment. Keep on keeping on my brother👍
Just got a chance to check out the shot making series, very good info Dave. Beats my way of 2 small holes drilled into a cast iron pan over a turkey fryer dropping into water!
