My local gun club harvested lead last year, and they are selling the farm fresh shot at scrap price. I already purchased 100lb, figured it would be good enough for practice, casual shooting, if nothing else should be a good pistol bullet alloy as-is.
Their harvester used a new and patented process. We were a trial yard for his prototype equipment. It is very clean, I haven't noticed any significant foreign matter. It basically looks decent as-is other than some surface oxidation. I have the setup to roll and graphite the shot already. Wondering if I should get in deeper while this deal lasts? How have folks that have used reclaimed shot found it to perform? I was thinking at the price it was offered, I could move back to 1 1/8 oz loads to mitigate any fliers (I usually shoot 1 oz). Might even pick up an occasional lost bird with a crooked pellet LOL.
