    Interesting shot maker

    I ran across this video and thought some of you might like to see it. This machine produces lead shot, based on the principle of breaking of lead stream by a magnetic field in an inert gas environment.

    I emailed the company and asked a few questions about the equipment ans the process. To my surprise I received a rather lengthy very informative response, I thought this was rather impressive.

    Just thought I'd share.
    BTW this setup is only 60K (US) - installed with training and a 1 year warranty.

    Quite impressive!

    Notice the card on the machine: It can make 350 lb of BB size shot in one hour! It must be a full time job just keeping the lead reservoir filled and shoveling shot!

    PS:

    Just noticed this video. Traditional shot making from a shot tower:

    From the research I've done, the glass panels appear to be on a 1 degree angle.

    Estimates on the drop distance before hitting the water spray? Shot dripper could be used this way.
