Has anybody else used dinsmores shot? Im just tieing a few rigs up and noticed that the number 10 shots are different sizes by a considerable amount >:( this must alter the weight as well. Ive been using zlt shot for ages and all seem uniform in size,only bought dinsmores as shop had no zlt left. Have I just got a bad batch?

Good quality lead shot is hard to find at present. The best I have found is apache lead shot on ebay. It is 100% lead and bang on in size and cut. Too much alloy being used currently in most brands. When You find a batch buy bulk !!!

have I got the right place, cos I can only see big sizes. I'm after 8's to 12's, zlt is ok but it's v expensive in my local shop and they say maver is the same but that's dearer.

The zlt's at my local shop are too hard, had good in the past though to be fair. I think apache have sold out but it will be worth a email to them to see when they are getting any more. These seem to be 100% lead to me and like I said good uniform size and good cut. I bought the 8,9,10 and 11's and they are the best I have used for years, mainly for wag, stick and bolo. No probs moving shot around, no dropping off or sliding after a bit of landing net abuse !! I luv em :-*
