Reclaimed shot - fromtheplaines - 12-25-2014
I have a decent offer for reclaimed shot. I was curious if I needed to do anything with it before I use it . Or anything to watch out for.

If it's from Acme Bullet, you are good to go. If not, I would make sure that they have treated it with graphite and not just bagged it. 7 1/2 shot even when new will hang or bridge just a touch in some presses and adding a bit of graphite makes it slick enough to stop that. Reclaimed is much worse in terms of bridging if not treated. Other than that, its a great deal. Usually its a mix of sizes from 7 1/2 to 9 and I like that..

Ah ok it's the stuff from Bristol, so I will ask if they did. Since it would make sense on my trap loads. If they didn't is it something I can do? Acme is going to be something I will look at.

I got 4 bags last year from Bristol, it's fine, at least last year it was.
