I need to purchase some lead pellets the size of 00 buckshot to make slinky weights from. Cant find the buckshot anywhere now so I thought some of you that pour weights or jig heads may have a mold and pour up some. I am looking for probably 10 lbs worth or so. The pellets are 0.33 inch I believe, but could use down to probably 0.3 for the cord I have.
did you try here
Buckshot at Ballistic Products, Inc.
yep. They show it out of stock.
Do it molds makes a sling shot pellet mold that will work for what you want. I use the 1/6 size for 3/8 cord. It takes 12 pellets to make a 2 oz weight. Hope that helps. You can buy pellets on eBay but they are proud of them. Hope this helps. Look under slinky weights
Thanks Sinkermaker. My buddy just told me he ordered a mold for the 00 buck for us to pour some today. Now gotta look for some lead. lol. Fishing sure is a lot of work.
The best place to find lead is at recycle centers
Go to local tire shops and ask for used wheel weights. SOMETIMES they'll have a bucket full of them.
Sometimes you've got to be careful what you ask for. I won't ever need any more lead after one of those trips. Good problem to have I guess. LOLQuote:
