I can't find the legislation on shot size but I seem to remember it being 5 or more at a max size of 0.36"
Has the legislation been amended to 0.33"?

No, it is .36 and not .33. .33 is double ought. Just me being a knob and mixing stuff up. But, you do need s1 shot for those outside of the parameters. A mate and I experimented years ago with .45 cal ball in 3”magnums. 6 x 45 balls at around 1300fps! Feck me they were fun! Full choke and we could get three to four on an IPSC target at about 80 yards!

Kranks have a .36 mould in stock so I may nip in this week and get one.
Where are you smelters getting your lead? Scrapyards?
