I can't remember if I've asked this in here before but has anyone used one of these? I've been rolling my own buckshot but it's just not worth it unless I make my own cost wise. I'm set up to cast already. Just need a mould and have been looking at these in #4 buck.



Any experience would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance

Bigger is better when casting buckshot.

It takes you forever to cast a lb of useable shot when casting #4 buck or similar.

#1, #0, #00, #000 is where it's at.     Check out the sharpshooter molds if you're hell bent on casting smaller buckshot.    

I have cast #4, #1, #0, #00, and #000 and it makes a huge difference.    Typical #4 buckshot load is 24-27 pellets.    That's 12-13.5 castings with a x2 mold.        Typical #00 load is 8 or 9 pellets.   That's 4-4.5 castings with a 2x mold.    

I know zero about casting but lee makes a 18 pellet mould in 00. Not sure of any other sizes. Seems like it would be a real time saver

That is the one I'm talking about. I'm not going to sit around for DAYS casting 2 #4 buck at a time. I would be at the smelter for an eternity. LOL.
