Molding Buckshot! Beginning to the End... Part (1)

[@Batmite61]

Great video to watch while i wait on my mold to come in

[@vomitingwithungodlyaccurac3218]

I’ve been hoping for this kind of a series for a long time!

[@fat_head_Carl]

I'm glad you wore your safety toe Crocs!!!

[@joelmcmahan7386]

Driving a lot today, watch this video tonight. Thumbs up for now, thanks again for all the great hunting, fishing and reloading videos. Good shooting and gods speed to the BRO crew and families 👍🇺🇸

[@showproja]

I paid $89 for my last 00 Lee mold, plus handles. I thought that was high. I own four 00 buck molds and I can't believe what they sell for now, if you can even find them. I finally learned the secret to making them last- Elvis Ammo's oily rag trick! I still make over 100 lbs of 00 every week with them. Thanks for another entertaining video!

[@thetobaccoguy1751]

I poured a lead plate to add some weight to my gun safe last week. It was 13"x10"x2". I kid you not, I let that sucker cool for half an hour and it STILL sizzled with a drop of water.

[@vdog4799]

You should have someone make you a mold with your logo on it😁 BRO! For your ingots👍 Then powdercoat it with something really shiny and make look polished!

[@theastro-philosophersappre2786]

Another great video Wade. I finally gave up my harbor freight craptacular tumbler and got a Frankfort arsenal platinum. It’s amazing how fast it’ll finish a load of buckshot.

Awesome COOKING SHOW the best 🇺🇸✔

You are The Buckshot King Bubba👍🏼😎

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

thanks brother!!

[@dustincanty4006]

Awesome video crazy I finally bought two boxes of 2 3/4 00buck first time seeing a box almost 2yrs

[@CarolinaReloader]

Just recieved my Marty's mould thanks to you recommending it. I got to 31 cal only took a couple weeks to get it and it seems to be a quality mould. I got tired of the double cavity lee

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

You're gonna love it Rob!!

[@smsgtbulldog]

Nicely done Wade!!!!

[@charlesdriggers199]

And so it begins. It about puts me in a trance watching you mold buckshot. Have you been able to find any powder and primers?

[@redmondray8066]

Thanks for the heads up on molds, been looking for a #3 buckshot mold. Ordered mine today!!

[@markrobinson9553]

great video. I am looking forward to part 2. I wish we had a second amendment in Canada.

[@HobbiesHobo]

Thanks Wade! A great intro to casting buckshot, which is far to expensive to buy commercially manufactured. Plus it allows for fine tuning your loads, like you have shown us many times. Mike

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

Yessir!!

[@12floz67]

Great video!🍻

[@wemcal]

Great video and information

[@paulrodriguez3982]

I've had the same issues with current tumblers too, quality across the board.

[@alyz69]

Awesome video❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@rudycockrell8029]

Sooooo much lead! I need some of that in my life

[@sawmill9392]

That's amazing, thanks

[@vernonwilson4762]

Great job wade

[@ianturpin9180]

You would be better off using tallow. As an apprentice many years ago lead pipe was often used to connect toilet pans to the sewer. A brass collar hAd to be joined to it and we always used tallow for a flux as we wiped the joint.

[@johnndavis7647]

I use half a crayon to get the impurities out of my lead. Grandkids are always Leaving them in the backseat of the car.

[@maddog45auto66]

I use an ode split shot for fishing. Wait for my buckshot mode works pretty good And then I have a old jig head mode that I use also.

[@russhayes4882]

Very interesting !

[@victorwaddell6530]

Thanks for the info.

[@dirtydan3029]

I wish i bought the lee bottom pour but at the same time i was reading people had a hard time keeping the spout clean and it would clog

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

it does happen!

[@mblake0420]

My tumbler has worked well for brass washing

[@SilverScorpion]

Great video

[@danielgarwood3417]

Great video as always wade 👍 I've replaced my lee buckshot molds with MP molds. Saves having to spend ages snipping sprues. All the best mate

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

thanks Daniel! I have a .32 cal MP mold and I love it...

[@smsgtbulldog]

I’d love to see you cast some with the MP mold. Never seen a buckshot mold from him although I’ve got lot’s of his boolit molds.

[@4570Govt]

Do you run the shot dry in the tumbler, or do you use any sort of compound to help speed up the process of polishing?

[@maddog45auto66]

Thank you for sharing your video I myself Like to mess with. lead Is melting.

[@keeganjoyner3907]

Love the vids

[@shihanjulio]

Great video!!! What kind of pot are you melting the wheel weights in???

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

that's an old 6 qrt steel Dutch oven.

[@03redrubi]

Chicom rock tumblers!

[@michaelsiglin5156]

How long do you cook the wheel weights in the pot

[@rudygeorgiamulesandcountry1594]

I've known a lot of old time muzzleloaders who used to roll their rifle balls between two steel plate to insure roundness and u iformity

[@timpille8495]

Keep up the good work ask Marty to get in to bullet molds to he would make a profit on that to

[@agh.abolfazl204]

therapeutic

[@asakayosapro]

I’ve been minding to make my own molds with my mini lathe and mini milling machine instead, have yet to get round to it and see if I can at least make a functional design while only paying for raw billet metal in materials. I reckon an inside radius turning tool or a round nose endmill of the right size ought to do it, though it’s very likely that one would need a full sized machine with plenty of horse to do it with an endmill... Alternatively there’s the CNC mill option, but that’s just way beyond the pale for a bullet mold...

[@thename2030]

Where do you get all of you lead weights? I’ve been looking

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

@@thename2030 I used to have contacts all over to get waste wheel weights but it's different as of today. It's not easy to find lead anymore.

[@Silverfish7216]

What do you do with the little bit of lead left in the pot that you cant get with a ladel? Pour it from the pot itself?

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

I just pour the excess into a muffin tin!

[@johnndavis7647]

I find that if i leave about 1/4"to 1/2" of lead in the bottom of the cast iron 6 quart pot that the lead melts much faster when i go to do another batch. Full contact with the heat gets things going faster. Another trick i do is have my 6 quart pot on my turkey fryer sitting a few feet away from my casting bench where my Lee pots are. When the Lee pot gets down about half way i just reach over and get a ladle of melted lead and top off the Lee pot. I usually do my casting for the year one weekend in the fall and I go through a lot of lead when i do. Thanks for all you do.

[@johnbailey9682]

Like your channel I melt my lead but my pot is huge when I’m done I have a 5gallon bucket full then I’m done for the day . It’s worth the time that’s for sure .

[@christopherpeterson1400]

When will we all get off the sofa and clean this country up ? Behind every blade of grass, American citizens , courage , character ,!!!

You ever dropped liquid lead on them deluxe jelly sandals? Really enjoy your videoes.

Not yet! I'm very careful... :)

Like your scouting videos to

[@brucelewis1017]

Are those ten or metal muffin pans and will the muffin pans from Walmart work

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

most are steel but yes, the pans from Wakky world will work fine Bruce...

[@boomschofield3148]

I load for home defense, so I use dead soft lead & air cool the Buckshot and Slugs that I cast & I leave the shards on & tend not to use buffer because I want the payload to spread & tear open what it hits. (My favorite is your 1 in 9 by the way (out of a short barreled open choke '97 Winchester.)) All y'all hunters use the harder wheel weights & water drop your projectiles & even tumble them & buffer your buckshot and full choke your long barreled Shotguns for performance & get nice tight groups out past 50 & 75 yards! You get one shot stops on Deer & Hogs; I hope I never have to shoot anything but paper with these nasty loads. We are 'same Brothers from different Mothers'.

[@boomschofield3148]

Sorry, I should have pointed out that I shoot your 1 in 9's out of a 3" Chambered Remington 870...

[@chrystalsmith8732]

I went to the local tire discounters and got a whole bucket of old lead weights for free. After checking them, come to find out only about 2lbs was lead and the rest was anything but lead. So that put an end to me doing what you are doing here.

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

That happens a lot nowadays for sure.

[@WillieWanker8135]

How do you get your wheel weights?

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

I used to get them at local tire shops.

[@WillieWanker8135]

@@BubbaRountreeOutdoors much thanks brother, just got my first .44 cap an ball revolver and decided to try making my own ball and powder, if I fall in love with the tradition of it I might upgrade to some of the stuff you’ve got

Hey Bubba! Just curious, that's a 10 lb pot right? How many pellets can you usually get with a pot full?

[@johnnottahcal5725]

Help! I recently started getting alot of flashing on my Lee #4 buckshot. Lead or mold too hot or mold problem?

[@gregclark5344]

It almost looks like a Cowboy Kent Rollins video.

[@Joe-vy9hh]

Just curios what you shoot with that much triple aught? My hope is that you are: 1 selling it to other hunters, 2 selling it to israel to clear the tunnels quickly, 3 are the world's most deadly deer hunter, 4 selling it to the Texas immigration patrol, 5 marketing it to Russia as 10% for the big guy but homemade product to drive a bidding war, or 6 actually doing something useful and killing invasive species incessantly with it. Would love to know?

[@stephens2755]

Hi there ! Let me add a little something....but very important. I noticed the condition of your molds in stage one. Not...very clean, and above all....not preheated !! At the moment of pouring the lead they must be heated in order to expell all moisture AND remaining air pockets ! The probability of existing air pockets may result in an "explosion" of lead, very dangerous for your health !

[@Odysseusnobody]

He claims mold is hot on first pour may not of cover laying it on pot of pot
