Thanks TURBO!
I'll try to get this components, it will may be difficult, because it's "exotic" to reload shotshell here in germany.
Any idea concerning the powder?

Hello neighbour :)
I was in the same situation as you. Don't waste more time thinking about alloying pure antimony. Yes, it should be possible with a special flux, high temperature is necessary...

Thanks for your tips! In between I helped myself and bought a standard reamer tapered 1:50. The rear part I grinded a little smaller. The reamer in the lathe and grinding with a band-grinder (is it...
