Lead typically melts well at 600-700 degrees Fahrenheit. Of course if your lead isn't completely pure; meaning it has other elements in it; you could be affected adversely. For instance, make sure you don't have any mystery metals; like Zinc within your melting material. Good Luck, Mariano.

OMG Tony, I don't envy you, buddy!! Good luck with that!! share a triumph photo when you're done lol

Sorry, no. I can’t say that I have. But I’m sure after $500+ spent vs $80-$90/25lb bag of shot; you can figure out just how soon you can break even with setup costs.

Hi Mind444. I get mine mostly from Tire replacement shops; some of them (not all) are willing to let folks take away the scrap, and for me that scores all the lead I can handle. Some shops won't allow it to go, for safety reasons. Just keep asking until you meet a guy that says YES.

HI William, congratulations on the decision to get a shot maker, and to help your son shoot more by reducing ammunition costs!! What you describe about foam in the coolant (fabric softener) was something I experienced also. I diluted my liquid by adding a small percentage of water; 10% by volume to start. So if your coolant tank consists of 5 Gallons of softener, try adding 1/2 gallon of water to dilute the mixture - You may have better results. As far as the aquaponics pump, this is just any ordinary aquarium pump; I believe the one I showed was a 15gallon/hour pump, pretty small but does the job. You should be able to find this at any local pet store that sells fish aquarium equipment -- or perhaps the easier route is to shop Amazon/Online for an aquarium pump of the same volume/hr. :) Good luck, and let me know if you have any other questions.

I’ve been collecting used wheel weights from tire shops, and melting it down / cleaning it up with a fluxing process. Check my other videos. Or you can try reclaiming from a shooting range berm if you can get permission to dig/sift, or lastly buy it online from some folks selling it! 👍🏻👍🏻

😂 in the AZ desert there’s a million 4-wheelers and dirt bikes 🤣

😂😂😂 ok sure

Hi Stephen, I really can't advise you on the actual angles and such involved. You'll probably learn from trial an error what the angle should be, in conjuction with the angle of your lead ladel, and the lip created to allow the molten lead to drop and form beads. Good luck with your project.

LOL my friend, Thanks for the comment. My videos are gonna be a little bit of everything I enjoy. Gardening, prepping, reloading and lead reclamation, shot making -- yes sir lots of good stuff. It's been years since I made my last shot making video, due to a move from the home I was leasing, versus the home I bought and moved into; until now -- my new workshop has been all about woodworking and welding. Oh yeah some more hobbies I plan to catalog on video :) Thanks for writing, Dennis!

Make your own then, MrSims

Two 25 pounds of lead shot (50#) runs $169 these days. If you get your lead free like I do dug out of the backstop at my local outdoor range the initial investment is recovered very quickly then it is saving you money from then on This is provided there aren't any beta manlets on the Board Of Directors that have a problem with doing it. I've been permanently banned at one indoor shooting range collecting lead. Come to find out they are running a illegal profit business out of a non profit club with over $92,000 in the checking account. They want every angle they can get to make money....I wonder if the IRS knows this? They kicked me out because I threw a monkey wrench in the sham and brought the issue to light. Who cares if someone takes someone elses as well as their own shot bullets. That lead belongs to the shooters, not the club. If people leave it, then obviously they don't care about it anymore and have relinquished ownership of it. They want to sell it to the scrapyard to maximize profits and covering more angles closing gaps and costs of operation. It's funny nobody cared about that lead and the traps were overflowing until someone took it to use it for a good cause. Better than wasting it selling it to the local scrapyard for pennies on the dollar to be ultimately sold to China and shipped out of the Country. They can get their own lead and firearm lead should STAY firearm lead as far as I am concerned. It's also about sticking it to "the man" Bidumb.....and all the scalpers ripping people off and constant "out of stock" issues. Reloading equipment if it is good quality and lasts a lifetime is not cheap and is money well spent. "Scam artists" are the scalpers and all the little boys and girls who get their feelings hurt when someone is smarter and more efficient than they are. It's not about "money".....it's about minimizing waste and reusing it.

Hi Jim, I haven't yet tried to see how fast I can produce the shot, but the only thing holding me back would be how fast the element can melt the lead. I've seen guys pre-heat the lead and then run that through the ladle, but honestly the real restriction is how fast you can get the lead through the drippers. I'd guesstimate that 20 lbs per hours is probably doable. You know us reloaders have no concept of time well spent though lol

Hi Sebastian. I got my lead dripper from Oasis Leadshot Maker. www.oasisleadshotmaker.com/

Review the prior comments. I’ve answered this question multiple times

Thanks, The name's Adam :) haha

You bet, Glad you enjoyed it!

Hi Gene, I'm one of the lucky ones! I made contact with, and repeatedly return to pick up wheel weight trash from a tire shop in my area. They're a busier shop, with many dozen cars mounted a week, so every couple of months I show up and empty them of the tonnage. They can't throw it away, and letting me cart it off saves them Hazardous Waste reclamation fees. I think they love me, and I know I love them! Cost: FREE

Where did you get the pump, I have mine coming Thursday!

I invite you to check with the manufacturer. Or buy one if you're looking to improve on their design. Good luck to you.

Thanks ✌

Thanks Dale!

Thanks Jay. Enjoy your day.

I didn’t ; the device is made by Oasis Shot Maker. If you’re talking about the drippers, they seem to be bolts drilled out, and then drilled again at the bolt heads

@@arizadam12 I was thank you

average joe thanks for the kudos, Joe! Keep up the hard work! Someday we might not have lead sources; but today it’s still worth the effort

@@arizadam12 I am from Iraq, how can I get this machine?

Mohammed Al zubaidy I use a mix of laundry fabric softener & water. 80% fabric softener or more.

Adam Dasuqi thank you very much
