I have a Littelton shot maker and we have made up to #6 shot. The process is very touchy. The lead works great, it seems to flow much better. We currently buy Bismuth with 5% tin in 100 lb lots, for about $8.00/lb. Last time I purchased this amount was 2 years ago.

When re-loading we try to only use the bismuth on the .410, 28ga, and 20 ga. More shells for the $$$$$.
