Where are you guys getting your shot?
from my homemade shot dripper
if you are ever being chased by a taxidermist, don't play dead
Years back, I lucked onto a couple hundred pounds at the scrap yard.
In school: We learn lessons, and are given tests.
In life: We are given tests, and learn lessons.
OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.
This ain't your Grandma's sewing circle.
EVERYONE!
Back to your oars. The Captain wants to waterski.
Some Trap and Skeet ranges sell Recycled Shot.
Wash it, run it thru a screen for sizing separation and you are good to go.
Aint like Store Bought new stuff, but it will down game and break clay pigeons.
And at a much lower cost.
Judging by your handle you'll not be ordering shot from across the pond, but just in case anyone needs a source in EU. I order my shot from this store https://www.grauwolf.net/ (The site is in German, but Chrome browser autotranslates to English very well).
Ballistics Products, or yard sales. I recommend 6 or 7 1/2 for a good dense pattern. One shot in the head usually ends any bird, including turkeys.

The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!
If you dont have a local source Roto metals on this site sells and ships. Up to a full drum, price is right but 3300 pounds. I think there smallest bag is 25 pounds, enough for a weekend of shooting
Don't buy nuthing you can't take home
