What's a good source for reclaimed shot

[davek8s]

I want to order some reclaimed shot for reloading 12 ga. Does anyone have any experience with a company called rotometals?

Or where is a good company to order from ?

Do they have a website? I can't find much on them when I google them

They have email, not sure about a web site.
email is jrshot@att.net.
Google j&r reclaimed shot. Trapshooter site has pics and some input.

Thanks, I did find their email from google but not much else.

They replied quickly. I'll be ordering 65 pounds of shot pretty soon

I bought a bag of J&R shot (they sell it at the Livermore range). It's clean, I didn't find any debris. Passing a magnet over the shot did yield some steel shot, so be careful there. It also has a lot of graphite (more than I would like).

The rotometals price is not worth it in my opinion. works out to $35/bag when you can often get new shot from cabelas for $37-$39/bag. (cabelas often runs 10% off and/or free shipping deals).

I found that reclaimed works fine from the 16 yard trap line, or skeet. The patterns aren't so great further out. With the savings being minimal I think I'm going to stick to new shot.

I just ordered 65 pounds from J&R. I think for practice rounds their shot will work fine. But at $40 a bag for new shot I'll probably order some from Cabelas.
