    Any guys here making their own shot?

    I'm doing a lot of sporting clays and skeet these days so I'm thinking about getting back into shot shell reloading.
    The best way that I can figure to come out is to make my own shot plus I have a good supply of WW and other lead.
    I looked at the Littleton shot maker and Magma wants $425 for one. I thought they were cheaper than that.
    Anybody here making their own shot and having success with it? If so, what shot maker are you using?
    I'm not interested in homemade rigs due to time limitations.

    Thanks for the offer leadman. i could make you an offer just for the shotmaker and drippers but i don't need the whole package nor could I do a local pickup.

    I'm thinking about putting this project on the back burner right now unless I can come across a used shotmaker at a decent price.
    Other expenses would also include a new shotshell reloader. I do have an old Versa Mec 700 that is no longer in production that I used for my hunting loads years ago. I bought it new back in the days when I reloaded everything.
    If I start loading for Skeet and Sporting Clays, I'm going progressive.
