Birdshot Casting Mold?
I’ve been trying to find a casting mold for bird-shot due to the exorbitant cost of shot these days, but so far I haven’t been able to find anything but slug and buck molds. They must exist, but I’m running out of places to search. Does anybody know where to find some? (If you don’t know, or enjoy condescending, please understand that I am an avid reloader and caster and have been for years, so resist the urge to post 
Bird shot smaller than #4 shot is not cast in molds, but by the ‘drop’ process described elsewhere.
As expensive as it may be, buying commercial birdshot is still cheaper than any ‘home-made’ alternative.
I really lucked out here in Yuma, as one of the local scrapyards buys lead shot by the TON from the local U.S. testing facility, where the 25+ lb. bags of Winchester shot are used for test loads and ballast in vehicle tests. I have used this surplus shot not only in reloaded 12ga. shells, but even MORE of it for casting pure lead black powder projectiles and alloyed cast target bullets.
Try the local Yellow Pages, and you just might luck out like I did.
