    Lead shot question.

    I just got my first container of HF Red. I would like to know if anyone has used lead shot in place of Air Soft pellets. I tried the search function using the key word shot and it comes up a million times. Thought this would be more efficient. Thanks.

    for the price of the powder, worth a shot (haha) but i think the plastic will be better as it will build static.

    You'll need to get the graphite off the shot first.

    It may work because of the BB's impacting the bullet, but plastic airsoft bullets help to build the static electric charge that sticks the powder to the bullet.

    Thanks guys, I think BB's would work, gotta figure out a way to incorporate static in this mix. There's always a way, just have to find it.

    What I do is put the container on my carpet and slide it back and forth. I would imagine the shaggier the better.
