Anyone have a lead shot maker or an easy cheap way of making some lead shot?
I have the lead and can offer labor to help make some. I don't need a lot as I'm using it to make about 20-25lbs to use as ballast in my own scuba diving weights. I've found shot makers online but don't want to spend the ~$150 or I'd just buy the scuba weights. Figure I have the lead, hopefully I can find someone to help make the shot.
Thanks all.

Re: Lead shot maker
Ok, plan B. I have a 25lb bag of lead shot I use in my lead sled. I think I'll use that shot for the scuba weights and just use lead ingots for the lead sled.
For those interested, this is what I'm trying to do:

Re: Lead shot maker
There was one in the for sale forums recently. I don't know if it was sold, or if he still has it.

Re: Lead shot maker
I'll swap you some scuba weights for the shot. I have 40-50lbs of misc scuba weights that I've not got around to melting down yet.

Re: Lead shot maker
Appreciate the offer but I was looking to make soft scuba weights using lead shot so I actually need the shot not the hard scuba weights.walnut red wrote:I'll swap you some scuba weights for the shot. I have 40-50lbs of misc scuba weights that I've not got around to melting down yet.
