usa shooter mold

[desteve811]

I have a usa shooter mold in "OO" buckshot, my question is, what tool do i need to cut the shot off the stem? Would like the buckshot to be as round as possible.

It ain't the best set up, but I use a pair of roller headed cutters.

Kinda like side cutters, with curved edge.

If you can get the sprues cut close to flush with a pair of flush side-cutters, you can tumble the buckshot to make it round and shiny. I put them in a butter tub in my tumbler, with no media, and leave them overnight. A little pencil lead thrown in with them will coat them with graphite.
Harbor freight or most good hardware stores have side-cutters pretty cheap.
