Bismuth shot making


Recommended Posts

I have made BB sized Bismuth in mould i bought from here https://www.martysarms.com/products/round-ball-molds-inch-sizes

I have also dripped the shot to make size 3to 4 shot it is not completely round but t patterns ok and kills well.

The setup i used for dripping the was was very basic look on youtube my set up is something like this but using a gas camping stove:

Never made any shot myself but looking at the video it seems to me that the drip is to close to the water? I always thought you needed some height to allow the surface tension to pull the molten metal into a round ball and cool slightly before it hit the water, hence the use of shot towers, be interested to know why home shot making is done this way.
