Buckshot
« on: January 01, 2009, 05:25:38 AM »
How hard is factory made buckshot? A frind said he has a 25 #  bag he is going to give me. I am planing to melt it down an make some 240 grain SWC for my 44 mag. Do you think this lead will work for this bullet?

Depends on the manufacturer but Hornadys buckshot contains 7% antimony.  Don't know if it has tin in it or not so you may need to add a little.  Might even consider adding a mixture of WW or pure lead if you don't intend to drive them pretty fast.

If buckshot has went up like the rest of shot sell it and you could buy more lead than it will provide you.
