I didnt know that shot could be made that way, and full brass shotgun cases are just my kinda thing.

I foresee a 410 in my cabinet in the near future.

Very impressive, thanks for taking the time to photograph it and post.

Thanks mate.
Cant say I knew how to make lead shot before this venture either.. I thought you needed a 30 meter high tower with a screen dropper and a bunch of baffles before a water trough at the bottom as that is how they used to do it.
The story goes that way back in the day a high old church with a lead roof burned down and one of the fire fighters found lead shot in their water puddles in the basement after fighting the blaze.
Melbournes historic old shot tower is still an iconic part of its retail sector that is worth a visit.

Heres a slowmo vid of the version I made which shows the shot forming before its quenched. Just a heads up.. its 5 mins of what you see in the first 30 seconds but strangly memorizing like staring into a fire..
