I have a question for the shotgun guys here. It does seem a shame to melt down perfectly good shot into ingots, but what about larger sizes, like #4 and #2 duck and goose shot? It seems like there's not any real use for it anymore, since you can't use it for waterfowl hunting. Might as well as melt it down?
I ask because I picked up several bags of old shot for very cheap this weekend and am considering whether or not to make bullet metal out of it.
