Hevi shot.

[southernman]

Have been reloading some 16ga hevi shot loads, there is lots of deformed beads , doubles stick together and small beads on big beads. not very uniform is size or shape. Its # 4.
Is this normal or did I get a bad batch?

I have not seen actually seen Hevi shot but from what I have heard it is not spherical and uniform like good lead shot is. But I have also heard that due to it's high density, it overcomes it's inconsistent shape and patterns well and hits hard.
