That looks much better than a lot of what I have seen from people making shot at home. I use a few hundred pounds every year, for skeet, and the price has certainly climbed.

Just make #8 1/2 shot and you don't have to change setups

Looks very round and uniform from what I can see. Nice job.

Default do you drop

Your lead into RV anti-freeze? Apparently that gives the most uniform roundness with pellets.Some use fabric softener .

I also use RV antifreeze, I found paying close attention to the cleanliness of the drip plate and the distance from the drip plate to the coolant is pretty important .
