Attention New Members and those new registering! We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username. If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7. Thanks for joining us from the administration.

I was wondering if it is possible to make your own shot? With the price of shot lately, if equipment is not too much, I may consider it.

Yes it is possible to make your own shot you use a device that drips molten lead

like this one by littleton

if your handy you could probably make one yourself

it uses diffrent size holes in the drippers to make diffrent size shot

the lead drips out into a 5 gal bucket with a mix of 3 parts water to 2 parts soluble oil.

I finally did break down and buy an electric lead pot.
