oxo 381 Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 As above, fair old weight in a 16mms lead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
C.green 3,203 Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 (edited) I got a 16mm new forest mould deadly for pheasants and rabbits in cover. Think it does 12 at a time. Steer clear of them cheap fishing ones more hassle than they worth Edited March 22, 2019 by C.green Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greyman 25,157 Posted March 23, 2019 Report Share Posted March 23, 2019 I can knock out a 1000 12mm leads in a reasonable time with the fishing weight moulds have never had any problems with them, think a vice is what makes it work I put two moulds in the vice and it’s 16 balls per pour takes seconds, what elastic do you use for 16mm leads, I have some blue dub dub that would launch them but I only use it on arm brased Catty,s as the effort to draw it back leads to a bit of wobble, I am assuming your doing a fair bit of close range night work with that set up or is that your everyday carry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
C.green 3,203 Posted March 23, 2019 Report Share Posted March 23, 2019 Make one cut per shot as opposed to four with the new forest type of mould just leass aggro does 12 at a time and soon get a few knocked out. Use allsorts but thereaband blue tube is a favourite at the moment.though just trying green cut short aswell. Mainly shooting at stuff the dogs are about to push out of bramble and what not bit heavy for roosting for my liking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
