remember if it is chilled shot it must be kept in a refrigeratorPicked up an old bag of #9 chilled shot at a yard sale for cheap. I don't think it's hardened but it's likely not pure lead either. Will it be okay to use for round balls ? -Thanks
I've never used chilled shot, but I made quite a few balls out of wheel weights, The only difference I could tell, is that they are 4 to 5 grains lighter per ball then soft lead. They work just fine. The round balls I've made from wheel weights, are the hardest balls I've ever tested, but being they're patched there is no way they would harm the bore anyway. I can't imagine they would be worse On a barrel than pure copper slugs. They, the round balls, seem to shoot just as good and were no harder to load.Picked up an old bag of #9 chilled shot at a yard sale for cheap.
