Wonder if any of you "home-made shot" folks have tried using
pickup lead from Pistol ranges for shot making? I understand
that when you melt down the bullets, those copper-jacketed
varieties (of which there are quite a few on our range) don't
create any problem, the lead just melts out and leaves the
jacket intact. How is the hardness of the resultant shot?
Pistol bullets vary in hardness, but the resultant mix over
a period of time probably doesn't change much. Just wondered
if anybody uses fired Pistol bullets for shotmaking????
