Any shotmakers in So. Cal?

[KalKarl]

Does anyone out there use a Littleton Shotmaker to cast shot? And if so do you sell it?

shot prices seem to be ok. the bullets though are very high. almost 20.00 for 100 45 lc bullets. Wow glad i cast my own.

Cast shot blows. Shot towers make much better shot.

There is or was a guy on 1st street in Santa Ana. From 5 South, exit 1st street turn right there is a wrecking yard on the right about 1.5 miles up the street that is before "El Metate" that's on the left. The entrance is on street to the right from 1st.

Whats crazy is the fact that good shot is still made in shot towers.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Besides, it's easier to find the plant if there's a tower.

True. I heard from a guy on another site on a cheap way to find shot. i did it but it takes a while to find. Basicly if you see garage sales, yards sales or even maybe thrift stores. Go check them out. if you find those ankle weights the ones that are simply those bags that go around your ankle with velcro. Buy them. They are filled with #7 Shot. i was able to find two of them at a yard sale bought them for $5.00 for the two of them. almost 10lbs of shot.

Scrat,
Sometimes they are filled with something that looks more like flattened shot so, you're taking a chance.

Well my shotgun knows no difference. I load them pretty much with black powder anyhow. Blackpowder shotgun rounds are fun as heck. easier on your shoulder too.
