[skeet]

Ed as the shot lays in the ground it oxidizes and when polished later by the reclaimers it ends up smaller and since most isn't really all that round anymore..it doesn't hold great patterns. Skeet shooting doesn't require great patterns at longer ranges..so it works for skeet. The local trap club back in Md had their shot mined..and wanted to keep their part of the money as shot for the members.. I argued the opposite..and when they saw the resulting shot..they took the money. Some of the (older)shot that is mined has shrunk to the sizes of 10 and 11 after polishing. It did turn out good shot on my Littleton shotmakers. I had a friend give me almost a ton of Magnum BBs 2 4s and 5s. I am about to turn it all into 8's I think..and put it back in the original bags. Shot is ridiculous in prices now..even my wholesale is over 32 bucks
