It is a mystery to me why someone hasn't started a niche business hammering #6 or #7 1/2 shot a bit flat on two sides and rebagging it. I would buy a few bags. I would rather pay double for shot than to worry about loading or finding spreader loads.
Hello Bill, Just buy some of the reclaimed/recycled shot from the trap and skeet club. The pellets will be mixed 7.5s and 8s and maybe some 9s and will have flat spots from hitting the targets and from running down the barrel. These pellets will spread a little better then the new ones. If you use the plastic wads with no fingers or short fingers you can get even more spread. Watch out for little rocks in the reclaimed shot.
Good Shooting To You, Jent
