There is a company (East Anglia maybe) that makes shot, makes the equipment to make shot and even does courses on it. A fascinating and very accurate process from memory.

I just wish I could remember who they were.

I got a shot making melter/machine/thingy years ago from a friend. Judging from the lead and plug on it, 50's/60's made. Used it a couple of times for fun and it worked! Never thought I'd use it again, so chucked it out last year during the clear out before the builders came in.......
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Guns dont kill people. Dads with pretty Daughters do...!
