Thanks for that Chrissh, Nice for an alternative source.
I clicked on your link and I think you have inadvertently given away a picture of a mod.
Well, I think it is.

Thanks to all for the info on the lead wire! Will source some this week...

Thanks for the idea of using it instead of split shot!

Great for using when fishing old school style sliding float too!

What is the equivalent shot for a no 6 and a no 4 super stotz?

Is a bb shot the same as a no 4 super stotz? I cannot work it out!

I was under the distinct impression that super stotz had a direct correlation to the equivalent numbered shot. If in doubt, get your pellet scales out and weigh them. A BB shot should be 0.4g, AA is 0.8g, No1 is 0.3g, No4 is 0.2g, No6 is 0.1g.

Is there any reason to think they aren't the same as regular shot? 10s and 8s regular Stotz are the same weight as regular shot, near as dammit anyway, 8s are actually 0.058g. As Preston don't actually state the weight I would think it's reasonable to presume they are the same.

pellet scales

I didn't know these existed! What have I been missing!

They are usually just jewellers scales. You know you've got it bad when you start weighing (and/or sizing) pellets. Plenty of folks do though. Can't say I miss it!

As far as I can make out all a super stotz is is a stotz with a bigger split. The sizing will be the same as ordinary shot...if it isn't and Prestons have come up with a sizing system whereby their no 4 = a Bb then it is the most stupid idea in the world ever.

Apart from Brexit and Trump. ( how long do you think I've got ? ):wh

I assume .177 rather than BB! I never did this and don't plan on starting now! I still have at least a dozen tins!!!

Two super stotz size 4 = 1bb!! I canremember that!
