I need to add some arsenic to an alloy, and I have some Winchester AA #8 shotshells, my question is, is this regular ol' shot what the alloy calculator means by " chilled shot"?, I know it isn't magnum shot. thankyou very much-Travis

you can get the arsenic from clip on ww also
but to answer your question most is .08%
ok, I know about ww's but I am using other alloys I am not using to make some lyman#2 , so they still have some arsenic in them, but its been watered down so I wanted to add a little.

if you are just making boolits you wont need the arsenic . tin will work . arsenic is a surfactant
and pure is very expensive
thus the question about the shot...

I just want to make sure I have some arsenic in there so, if I want to, I can heat treat my boolits. without it they are at 15bhn, so sometimes I wont want/need to heat treat. I just wanted to know what % arsenic is in regular old shot. that is all, and arsenic is a grain reducer, I know that's not quite the technical term for it, but what is a surfactant?

surfactant reduces the surface tension of lead to make it 'flow' better in shot to make it easier to be round.
in WW was to let the lead get to the the small lettering. Old ww was hard so it would not come off the clip. but hard lead dont flow well.
there is a company that makes tin ww but the clip is larger and the print is bigger
Winchester AA ammo is their premium hard shot.
