hi
I have around 50 buckshot that i do not use an d think to replace them but lead shot N7 for bird shot so my question is the following:
if I take the 9 pellets from the shell with how much (weight)of lead shot shall I replace it.
how much 9 pellets of buckshot weight? and what is the equivalent weight n lead shot in 6 or 7?
thank you |

Bon Jour
It depends on the size of the buckshot, whether 00 or #4 or ??
If you have a scale, and you should, weigh the buckshot taken out and put the same amount in weight of shot in.
But you will need a filler as the smaller shot compaction is more dense
