About this deal

Not some low quality, imported from Asia which many shops bringing in, those days and presenting as highest quality stainless steel. However Simon Reinhold, gun trade consultant and shooting coach points out: “It’s important to note that guns made & proved outside the UK (the majority these days) may not have the words ‘steel shot’ in conjunction with a fleur de lys. My brand new Japanese-made Browning has CIP over fleur de lys – no words at all and it is proved for steel.” High performance steel vs standard steel Also available is our new Cantabrian range of competition shots which are suitable for any athletes from beginners to professionals. These quality competition shots are expertly manufactured to ensure the most accurate weight and diameter and are great value for money. The shapes are 100% stainless steel. However, even stainless steel can rust if not looked after properly (there are many different types of stainless steel, despite common belief some can rust and some are magnetic!). To best care for your shot and to keep it clean and rust free, give it a light rinse after use and keep it completely immersed in water with a little barreling compound. Some people prefer to clean and dry the shot between each use; I don't as it takes far too long - as long as the shot is always kept totallycovered by water, you won't have any problems at all. Stainless steel shot may seem inconspicuous, but in fact, its functions are very powerful. Most workpieces, including stainless steel parts, aluminum alloy die castings, and alloy copper parts, will be applied to stainless steel shot during surface blasting, sandblasting, shot blasting treatment, shot blasting forming, finishing, strengthening, matte, calibration, paint removal, and corrosion removal. Do you know the production method of this product?

Fill with a little water from the tap, swirl the shot around, pour out most of the water (if it looks very grey and scummy; repeat this step)Replace the lid (if using barrel with plastic lids, remember to always soak the lid in hot water before removing or replacing it) Open the barrel (if using a barrel with a plastic end-cap you must place the lid-end in HOT water for 30-60 seconds to soften it first), drain out most of the old water which the shot has been sitting in. This is one whole kilo of shot, so enough for a 3lb barrel. For the best results, your barrel should be 50-75% full once jewellery, shot, and water has been added to get the best polishing action. Open the barrel (if I'm using the plastic barrell I put the lid-end in HOT water first to soften it), drain out most of the old water which my shot has been sitting in.

I have used it on sterling silver & it did give a nice soft polish (with barrelling compound) but not the lovely shiny mirror finish I am used to. When used on ArtClay Copper it didn't smooth the finish as much as my previous shot did - it was almost pitted in some places. Make sure the shot is completely covered by the water, and leave until next time. If the water looks very dirty and messy, replace some with fresh water until it covers the shot, add 0.5 teaspoon of compound, shake until dissolved. The compound helps keep your shot clean, as well as polish your metal.Add about 0.5-1 teaspoon of barrelling compound (depending on size of barrell and your water - we have extremely hard water so I use a little more than others) But the amazing mix from Metal Clay, contains balls and pins and planetoids, so small, 1mm, 2mm that can enter in any nooks and crannies of even most intricate and fine jewelry imaginable. Of course, there are also larger size shots, 3, 4 and 5, but the majority is of those finest dimension. Some people prefer to clean and dry the shot between each use; we don't as we think it takes too long (the shot must be totally dry before you put it away) - as long as the shot is always kept totally covered by water, you won't have any problems with rusting.

Stainless steel balls have the characteristics of uniform particles, moderate hardness, high strength, and good toughness, which are safe, reliable, and have good technical effects, enabling processed products to highlight the metallic essence. Therefore, it has an increasingly widespread application trend in the industrial field.When producing steel and steel plates in steel mills, stainless steel pellets are often used for treatment to improve the quality and sales of the steel. In addition, it has also been applied in shipyards. For example, the steel plates used in shipyards have rust, which can affect the quality of shipbuilding. It is impossible to use manual rust removal, which would require a large workload. This requires machines to remove rust to ensure the quality of shipbuilding. The use of a series of methods can be resolved. I mean, did you ever wonder if possible that 5 mm and 4 mm balls and pins, offered by most of the shops, can get inside a small loops of 2mm, or in between links of 1mm chain diameter, and do a proper tarnish remove job? To keep the shot clean and rust free, give it a rinse after use and keep it completely immersed in water with a little fresh barreling compound. Add no more than 0.5-1 teaspoon of Barrelling Compound or Burnishing Liquid (depending on size of barrel and your water). If the barrel is totally filled with foam when you open it, add a little less next time. Stainless steel shot is widely used for surface shot blasting treatment of non-ferrous metal castings such as aluminum alloys and zinc alloys, as well as stainless steel castings. It can highlight the luster of metal materials and will not cause rust or discoloration on the surface of castings.
