    Thanks you so much again for all you help.

    I hope to add more to the forum and try to continue to help fellow casters with their shot making needs.

    Side note: websites are being rebuilt
    www.littletonshotmachine.com
    www.littletonshotmaker.com
    And the very old one: www.Burgessbullets.com
    Should all soon be pointing to my new web page.

    These domains had to be transfered and that is taking longer than I expectd.
    If you need help please email, pm , or call. I even help folks if they don't have one of our machines!

    I have a video of the shot maker running but it will not download so here is a pic of how much shot you can run in a day with the 220 volt model we changed the drippers to doubles and they would keep two guys busy adding lead and removing shot out of the tank. Never had a problem with ours and ran several tons of lead into shot sold most of it when shot was so pricy.

    Welcome aboard Alan.

    I've been using one of Alan's machines for many years now. Had some minor problems early on, but Alan took the time to help me solve them and the machine has run like a dream ever since. The investment is well worth the money if you use a lot of shot. Skeet and trap shooters who reload their own would definitely benefit from one of these.

    Shot got so expensive, I quit loading for my 12, 20, and 410's. Welcome Alan, hope to see more.

    Thanks Alan for all the help getting my shotmaker back up after hurricane Katrina. You wouldn't believe how many hours of joy (some pain too) spent with my Littleton... but there is a feeling of accomplishment after a batch is complete that most people never get to feel. The better scores at the matches due to the extra practice sure feels good too!
    May all your bullets find the Bullseye.

    Years ago I read the entire archived shot naming thread on shotgunworld.com. I bought a Stewart better shot maker and have run multiple hatches. Then my store was torched. I was locked out for a week till the insurance investigators could come. My drippers rusted closed. Do you still make drippers that fit?

    Always wanted to try out a shotmaker. Like others here, I quit loading for, and shooting, my shotguns, when the price of shot went above $1.50 per pound.

    Been on the fence about buying one for a while now. I swore for a decade I'd never load shotshells. Then I ran across a 9000 too cheap to pass up with shot. Combined with my son growing up and our 5th Sunday church skeet shoots, I load a lot. It helps quite a bit with 410 and 16 gauge. I'll probably look into one again when I get to the bottom of my shot which isn't far away.
