So I've begun dripping bismuth shot. Having loads of fun trying to figure it out. I've gotten it to "mostly round" but definitely oval...3.5mm diameter and 3.8mm length...give or take, so I'm calling it 3 shot. I know I could weigh out an ounce and count pellets to verify, not worried about that currently.
I'm curious if this would be good enough...I'd love to load a shell and pattern it myself, but haven't gathered components yet...
I have noticed that a lot of my more spherical shot is smaller, closer to 4 shot my original goal. So I am going to try and get a smaller drip going and see if it is more spherical in appreciable numbers.
For those curious, 3 shot was a 1/16 bit.
Haven't sorted it yet, but here's a pic.
