Lead shot here is $65/25, reclaimed shot is $49/25.
I bought one bag to test.
Anything good or bad to report.
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.
I've used if for years. Trap club I belong to takes the cleaning of lead shot very seriously, dirt is blown out, any metal other than lead is taken out with big magnet, then washed and coated with new graphite, $25/25 lbs. Use it for practice, good mix of 7, 8, 8 1/2. And yes I shoot it out of an expensive O/U with no affect on the barrels.

Have you notice any significant issues when patterning compared to nice round new shot?

Our local club sold it for $1# too but it didn't get the clean up processing. So I rinse it over a fine sieve air dry put.it in a can and mix in a little graphite. Still steel in it so I just use in my lower value guns. Seems to break targets..mb

Are you sort of dense, don't shoot none, or wealthy? Most serious shotgun shooters shooting 15 to 20K rounds a year welcome a 40-50 % savings on a loads most pricey component.
Reclaimed, a mix of soft & hardened shot, some out of round or with flat spots might not be the first choice for tournament shooting but perfect & cost saving for practice or general shooting,,,, a win budget wise..
To answer the OP's question, I have. It works fine.
asside from your earlybird post
