I remember when a bag of shot would run about $7.50. Back in the 90's. Lol! My dad started buying shot by the ton for cheaper prices. This was a few yrs back. Have a great day!

Great video, it was very helpful. Ill be shopping a used hot plate from a second hand store to get me started. Im presently doing 41 cal pours for an antique 6 shot revolver and looking to get into sg reloading for bird game. This is the no nonsense least complicated build Ive seen on YT. Looking forward to making my own!cheers!

The graphite supposedly promotes a more fluid movement of the shot through chokes and such when fired, I was curious myself one day if graphite was a requirement and thats the main purpose of using it that i found.

It would have to drop many feet to be hard enough to not deform when it touched down. Commercial shot towers are over 100 ft tall. I am perfectly happy with the roundness of my shot, it shoots as good as commercial shot.. I win as many matches as any one and more than most.

@@adrianphillips2552 you won't be able to run but about six drippers with a 6-inch hot plate.. the worst thing about using the hot plate is it's hard to get the front of the shot pot back close enough to the burner.

@@adrianphillips2552 no drippers, I drill straight through the aluminum. Just make sure when you weld on the shot ramp you slow the correct distance for the shot to drop at least 3/8 of an inch , a little more for larger shot. I usually cut a small narrow strip of aluminum bout 3/16 thick by 1/4 wide and tig tack it to the bottom of the shot ramp to get the drop you need.
