Big Mac 1911
Plinker
I have been kicking around loading shotshells for 12ga & 20ga. With the price of lead shot, it makes it almost pointless, but I like to do it myself, so I am not so hung up on the price difference between new and reloaded.
With the cost of shot makers being really high, has anyone tried to make their own shot maker? I'm thinking a hot plat with a square cast iron pot mounted on slight angle and either pre drilled holes or make some bolts similar to the one on the littleton's.
Mainly wanting to see if anyone has tried this and if you have any ideas! I have a smoker that has a square cast iron pan for burning the wood chips that would be the perfect size (about 6" sq at the bottom and flares to about 8" at the top). Not sure how hard it would be to find another one, but you never know....
Thanks
