Ammunition & Hand Loading > Cartridge and Shotshell reloading
Ordered a Sharp Shooter USA 00buck mold

$35 for each mold and $5 shipping. Up to 3 molds can ship for that $5 (so total cost of two is $75).
I ordered the 00buck mold.
I'll post pics, opinions, and say how it works for me when it gets here.

I've been thinking about doing this also. I'd like to stock up on buckshot. Pair this with a cheap Lee shotgun loader and you could crank out a bunch of shells for not much money. I don't shoot enough shotgun to make buying a good quality reloader worthwhile.

I've got a Mec 600 Jr that I like just fine in 12ga. Think I caught it on sale for $125 ?
The $50 lee would be hard to beat tho ;).
Buckshot is expensive to source, locally ya gotta stomach the $25/5lb boxes from hornady :(.
They offer a larger 0Buck (.320 instead of .310) that might pack / seat better in 12ga... I'll... ask'em about it etc.

Should get it this week, went with the 0.320 #0 buck (#00 is 0.330, #0 is usually 0.310).
unfy:
It arrived today, so... 3 or 4 days from order to arrival ? something like that.... didn't actually place the order until Friday night or Saturday.
I'll get pictures tonight.
It's a #0 BUCK .320 mold ... 20 pellets per drop (10 per side). Lots of aluminum. Bigger than ya might think. Looks like it was cast then milled. I'll be asking the guy if that's how he made'em.
Quality of the product is high in my opinion, will be casting tonight to test (with more pictures, naturally).
Does come with the pair of 'flush cutters' mentioned on their page. Electronics places have them, typically excelite (spelling?) branded for the higher end. There's also cheaper brands. Also found them in Menards in the tin snips area with the cheap brand being well... cheap... $2 or so etc.
Comes with some instructions, and he also mentions harbor freight number for the flush cutters heh.
