    Buckshot for lead trade?

    Anyone have a buckshot mould and some time? I'll trade ya some lead for some cast buckshot... my lead comes from steel mill wire shrouding, can send it in original form or muffin tin ingots. PM me...

    I use .310 round balls for my buckshot. They fit 3 to a layer in my shot cups. Would they work? And how much did you have in mind?

    There is no problem so great, that it cannot be solved by the proper application of high explosives.

    I was hoping for OO, but I don't see why 310 dia wouldn't work. As for amount, I didn't really have a set number in mind. Maybe a small flat rate box worth on my end? I dont know what that would weigh but I'll get one packed up and let you know the weight so you can figure out how much shot youd like to trade for. I dont expect 1 for 1 since you've done the casting work. I'm sure youll be fair.

    Why don't you just buy a Lee or sharpshooter mold? You'd save on postage and have all the buckshot you'll ever need.
    I HATE auto-correct

    Happiness is a Warm GUN & more ammo to shoot in it.

    Because I have more lead than cash right now, $10 shipping is a hell of a lot cheaper than $60 mold...

    That would be awesome, but with my work schedule i won't have time for a few weeks at least. Can I PM you later when my schedule opens up a bit?
