I've never heard of a black powder shotgun!
I've never shot anything black powder.
you cast your own slugs(of course) but is lead hard to get?
I thought we were running short of lead in the U.S. but I don't
keep up on much stuff like that anymore.

You have got to come play, LOL! We will do a black powder day! :) I have about 100 pounds of lead shot, in 25 pound sacks. I go to the metal recyclers, and buy wheel weights for bullet castings. The antimony in them makes a hard casting. Not to expensive either, there is about 200 pounds of wheel weights under the reloading bench. :)

A metal alloyed with lead to make it harder. Wheel weights have the perfect mix. Some tire shops give the weights away free. :)

Sure makes nice bullets! I lube them with Alox lube, and run them through a sizing die. Make about a thousand at a time. 190 grain, it gets me a little more velovity (1100FPS) with a hot powder load. :P

I do six at a time, but it still takes a while, LOL! :) I set them on a towel, and make some 38 in a single up mold, to allow the big mold time to cool. Goes pretty quickly. Fun to shoot a bullet that you made! :)
Lookong into gas checks, to allow me to cast some high velocity rifle rounds. Maybe in 6.5 mm
