Can anyone point me in the direction of a number 1 buckshot mold.
My brother has a shotgun in 16 ga that throws it tight and hard and he can't find them any more.
Thanks

go to ebay here http://cgi.ebay.com/00-Bucksho...&hash=item336502717a its a action for a OO mold. contact him and ask as he will do them in any size.

Thanks,Lloyd I will get ahold of him tomorrow.

Happy to say the mold is on the way.
Now what alloy to cast them little buggers out of.
I have some pure Linotype and wheel weights and some babbit to play with.
Any suggestions?

I've been out of casting for some time. I don't remember the Pb, Sb, Sn ratios are for Linotype, Wheel Weights, etc.

But I'd suggest you try to duplicate Ballistic Products Super Buck. I think it has about 95% Pb/5% Sb. I don't think they use any tin.

Alloy? What difference does it make for buckshot? I would use whatever melts and casts that is mostly lead. Being hard(er) would be good, I think. Buck lacks penetration anyway.

I wouldn’t waste Linotype on a shotgun buckshot load. It’s to valuable for making other home made alloys for real bullets.

If that is Lorina Babbitt I wouldn't play with her unless you know she is positive you are just playing.

Start off using straight wheel weights then add.
