Awhile ago I bought a bag of #6 shot at a scrap yard. It came in a heavy cloth bag. On the bag it said:
Lawrence Brand Chilled Shot, American Standard. It was manufactured by NL Industries , Granite City, Illinois.
I tried some previously with some wheel weights, but the batch did not work. There was a colored slick on the top of the alloy, and if I recall correctly, the alloy was "oatmealy." I attributed the problem to the Lawrence Brand shot. But since then I have thought that the problem was among the wheel weights.
Does anyone know anything about this brand of shot? Or about this type of shot? Will it cast good bullets if added to what I have determined is clean COWW? Or, would it make good shotgun slugs?
What sayest thou? Thank you to all who reply.
