Re: Make Your Own Bismuth Shot

I'd like to make some Bismuth shot for myb12 bores but especially for my 16-bore Jeffery game gun.

I'd like to use it on quail, maybe 8 shot, or 7.5.

I always thought pheasant would be similar, 8s. But maybe 6s are more appropriate. 4s of course.

I need 16-bore reloading equipment.Maybe upgrade my 12-bore setup as well.

16-bore loaded ammunition, lead only and rather limited shot size choice. And exprnsive. So reloading absolutely needed. For lead and bismuth shot loaded shells.

12-bore, lead shot loads readily available. Bismuth in local gunshops, Ammunition or Shot completely unavailable.

I need to be able to reload non 2 3/4" 12-bores as well. Danba single shot shell reliadervtakev12-bore, different lengths shells? And other bore sizes? With different dies or something?

I have a Shotmaster somewhere. I never mastered making round shot. Mine came out tear shaped. Have to master it, maybe get advice from the experts here. Especially with expensive bismuth.
