I tried the shot from wheel weights and it didn't work all that well. If ya skim it pretty well when you melt it the first time then most of the impurities are gone. Then you do have to add some hardeners to it to make it work well. For skeet ranges in the 12 and 20 it is ok. Heck it has to be as good as reclaimed! After hardening it you can use it in the smaller guages but i recommend using the roundest you can get. You can do that by using a screen and ;etting it run down an angled board. I really got into it for a while...but it was just too much trouble to make large enough amounts. I was using as much as 3 ton a year myself and that got old. Even at 7-8 bucks a bag I was saving a fair amount of money
And spending an awful lot of time
Then I had to load all those shells. Sheesh. Hardly had time to shoot
BTW wheel weights nowdays have an awful lot of different stuff in 'em. Not lead and tin like they used to be.
