shot guestion

Hey guy's I got some shot from my buddy that just bought a littleton shot maker and the 25lbs that I have clumps what do I have to put on it to prevent this and where do I get it?

What exactly do you mean by clumps? Multiple pellets stuck together? If so, it sounds like he is not dropping it from high enough.

I think with the Littleton, it is what you drop the shot into, not the distance that gives it uniformity. Fs

The shot is not perfect but its for cowboy action, thats not the problem, do i have to put something like dry graphite on the shot ? or lube it some way?

It is likely sticking together because of the oil that is on it. You could rinse it in Varsol or or sift it with Borax powder. Killed plenty of duck with that stuff when we could still use lead.
