Thinking about casting in the future...
Depends on what kind of shot - magnum shot has antimony in it that is good but you would have to add some tin for casting. Cleaning it, something like refining, would be time consuming. Since it more probably is not magnum shot, I like the suggestion of getting it and trading/selling to someone that wants shot. Then get proper alloys for casting. Just my thoughts.....
