I've been "awarded" 2 coffee cans, 3/4 full, of two different sizes of shotgun pellets.
The smaller mic between .086 and .095 and 10 of them weigh 11 grains.
The larger mic between .117 and .137 and 10 of them weigh 33.5grains.
I'd like to know what they are so that I can offer them as "trade bait". I figger they're worth more to someone who loads shotshells than for me to just melt them down.
It's all chicken, even the beak!
Shuz, these, if they are indeed shotgun buckshot they ought to be nearly pure Pb. Trade to a guy who shoots blackpowder maybe? They like it soft. Mike
Shuz, You got yourself more than just two shot sizes. The 0.085" are #8-1/2 and the 0.095" are #7-1/2. Better for trap loads than skeet where #9 (0.080") are used.
The 0.117" are probably #5 and the 0.137" may be #4, more for small rodents.
