Home Built Shot Maker, Show us your stuff.
I am POed at the price one has to shell out for 25#of shot. And if you need to order it, the frieght on it is nuts-o. Got to make a shot maker if scattergunning is going to stay alive. I researched past Posts and see lots of information has been shared in the past. The basic design of a shot maker really isn't to far from reach for us casters. I would like to get a new post here going to share designs and ideas with one another. That's how we stay alive in this crazy world we have around us.
Now I got to thinking of what can be easily used to make the trough which the drippers fasten to and the molten lead feeds into. I think I saw in a vidio on YT of a fella from over seas posted in which his trough was part of an electric aluminum frying pan. Tipped on edge to form the trough. His drippers were mounted in the lower side and he had a flatpurtruding below for the drops to roll off. Anyone using something like this in their design. I think more casters are going to be looking at something to make shot and maybe already are and I'm to slow on the draw.
