I have used reclaimed quite a bit in the past..Bought a 55 gal drum full last year...locally. I didn't use it as shot though as I have a couple of Littleton shot makers. I melted it and made 8s and 8 1/2s. I had maybe 15 lbs of sand and some very small pebbles mixed in. But it WAS a lot of lead. I bought it for 16 bucks per 25..melted it and charged 30. Shot here is 38-40 right now. If you use reclaimed..don't expect great scores in Trap shooting. But it works great in skeet. Not saying you can't use it for trap..but the shot is not really round and it loses some size to the weather...especially where it rains more than here in Wyoming. We've had almost 2 inches all year this year..including last winters snow. Never dealt with the company you listed.
