Recent mention here of recycled shot. I checked our trap range this afternoon. I didn't find "shoals" of it under trees although we have a treeline at about 110 yds out. Further in, 101 paces from the house on a straitaway line to station 3, there was a good accumulation. This area has been scraped in the past five years but this small accumulation might be worth it to me for skeet reloads IF I can figure out a method of separation. Soil is sand so the particle size is probably nearly the same as #8 shot. Anyone have ideas how to approach the "panning of lead" on a small scale basis. The kid's plastic bucket and beach shovel I can figure out but the screen box we use to get expended bullet lead out of the pistol range berm won't work here. Down to my last two bags of 8s so I'm 800 rnds from being out of business for skeet and trap reloading as I'm not going to buy at 42$ a bag.
