I shoot trap and I got a garage sale deal on close to 50 lbs Lawrence #2 lead shot that I can not use for the trap range. Would it be usable for casting round balls, or is it to hard?
Melted down bagged shot is reputed to work really well in cast bullets for the unmentionable guns.I shoot trap and I got a garage sale deal on close to 50 lbs Lawrence #2 lead shot that I can not use for the trap range. Would it be usable for casting round balls, or is it to hard?
Would think what you have has a ‘trade value’ of somewhere between $80 and $120. You should be able to work out a trade or possibly sell. While you could use for casting round balls, would sell or trade for something closer to ‘pure’ lead more suitable for casting round balls. There are enough challenges in this game with everything as it is supposed to be, why up the difficulty level? Just my opinion.I shoot trap and I got a garage sale deal on close to 50 lbs Lawrence #2 lead shot that I can not use for the trap range. Would it be usable for casting round balls, or is it to hard?
Or sell it in the sale forums 50 lbs ships in a medium USPS flat rate box.
Add 17 bucks to the sale price as shot is worth $45-50 per 25 pound bag in that big of size. Get the idea?
There is a sale forum on this site cannot offer a better suggestion here.
Well gosh, don't you need to get a smoothbore to use that shot in?
You didn't mention how old this shot was. At one time lead shot was just that-lead. And pure lead at that.
Interesting. Could you please explain? Does it continue to get harder forever? How hard does/can it get?Shot gets harder over time.
