Smokersmith Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 Has this died a death? Siarm haven’t had any for what seems like a couple of years, and although some manufacturers are making pure copper shells, none have been seen locally?

Vince Green Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) Copper shot was predicted to be THE next big thing, it was going to replace lead, kind on old barrels, cheaper to produce than steel. I don't know what went wrong. It appeared to tick all the boxes. Edited August 1, 2019 by Vince Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow Bear Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 Simple answer is cost = copper is used for too many other things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
