    Looking for a shot maker, have lead, need shot 6, 7 1/2

    I'm looking for someone Dallas-Ft. Worth area with a shot maker setup, would like to get lead made into shot on the halves. Long shot, yeah. But please PM me here.
    Everybody grab a shovel, we got a swamp to drain.

    My advice.. buy or build one. They appear on amazon and ebay. some are rather cheaply made.. but work. If you use lots of shot.. in the long run.. making is cheaper than buying...

    You can buy a ladle on eBay for about 85 bucks that is pre-drilled for drippers and then on eBay you can also find a set of drippers for about $15 add a hot plate to that and you pretty much have the makings of a shot dripper so you know you're talking just a little over maybe $120 that's not too bad mounted on materials of your own Homebrew design
