Shot maker

A couple do it yourself shot makers .

Wow!  Got me to thinking!  No!... don't everyone duck!  I'm still in the thinking stage.   I wonder if a guy could make .310" balls with that contraption?  You wouldn't need but one or two holes to make a ton of .32 caliber balls.  Sure would beat trying to cast those tiny little squirts one at a time! 

In case you are not familiar with the size of a .310" ball.  Here's one sitting on ol' Lincoln's head.

I think if you played with the hole size you could come close nough for buckshot outa smoothie .
