get a LEE no4 buckshot mold
makes 24 at a time
they are joined together 4 on a chain of lead.
You just clip them apart.
I make them and size them and shoot them from my .223
Forty some dollars and shipping from MIDSOUTH SHOOTERS SUPPLY.
Rotometals will sell you some lead
they used to pay shipping if you spent 100 dollars.
worth checking if you have a mould but no lead.

What Sharps45/90 said will work perfect. With insulation left on measure and mark. Ratchet cutters will leave neat ends and razor knife would split of the insulation easy. I have Klein’s that run $140 but saw some at Harbor Freight for $20. Make sure you cut nothing but copper and aluminum or you will ruin your cutters.
