I was given 50 lbs in trade recently. It is not remelted or graphited. There are no apparent stones or sand etc. Most of it looks like # 7 1/2's so I suspect it came of a trap field. Most of the pellets remain round but show some deformation, mostly flat sides.
I ran a magnet through it and pulled out some steel pellets. I suspect this is a bigger problem than pebbles...Some of them were #2's
I added graphite and used it mixed 50/50 with new #8's. It's a nice spreader load but the pattern really falls apart once you get past skeet distances. I shoot some really tight choked guns at skeet and 7/8 oz of this mix still crushes the targets.
Once this is used up I won't be looking for more, but would use it again if it fell into my lap as it was ok to use if cost is an issue.
