sitsinhedges Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 Got the shotmaker out yesterday and knocked out 75kg of 6 shot out in 3 hours, then dried it quickly in this bright sunshine. It was churning it out so quickly I struggled to keep the pot fed That'll keep me in cheap ammo for a while. The lead was all gifted to me recently and I've even turned some down now I'm out of linotype to mix in. http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn31/sitsinhedges/th_20160507_132751_zps3kyaegjr.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rovercoupe Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 I love that noise. The I just run lead with a touch of pewter to make it run smoother and it comes out fine for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
