pinfireman Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 Rumour has it that Gamebore are no longer dropping their own lead from the tower, and buying in lead? Anyone know about this? Theirs was the last working shot tower in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B525 LIGHT Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 It looks operational when you drive past. Perhaps they buy it on some of their buget loads but Im just guessing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 I can’t see how it can possibly be more economic to buy ready made shot in. They have the tower and the all the facilities to make their diamond shot from base metals, where did the rumour come from ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salopian Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 As the rumour started because Gamebore do have to buy Lead . In ingots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason_ox Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 If anyone is on Instagram and follows gamebore, they put a video up yesterday afternoon of how they make shot. Still using the towers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 The lead is either bought in alloyed or in pure form and and alloyed with antimony when melted. Good process to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
