Marty's Buckshot Molds

[Barry54]

I have Marty's molds in T, F, #4 Buck, and #1 Buck, love them.

Have Lee in the #4 buck and 00

50/50 wheel weights and range lead makes for some very hard buckshot that patterns very, very well.

A coffee can full of T shot is some serious work!

I was curious to see how casting buckshot smaller than number four turns out. I see it can be done!

Have one, hate the handles.

Will let you know as soon as I try mine. Won a bb (.180) mold on evilbay lastweek. Looks like I'm going to have to wear asbestos gloves to run the mold hot enough to fill those tiny cavities. Snipping the pellets is go a be fun too.

Looking forward to your report. I used Klein brand cable cutters for cutting apart the Lee string of pearls. I would like to know if they are too large to use on Marty’s molds?

I usually use tiny side cutters from the diy/craft jewelry section of wallyworld. I grind them a bit so they get between the pellets. There looks to be more room on the Marty Molds, as each ball comes off the common sprue and not in a chain with each other. During the same week I went in the complete other end of the spectrum- got a good deal on a .735" Lyman ball mold. Maybe I can find time to play with them over the holidays.
