5 part and 7 part dispensers contain the sizes most commonly used. These allow you to keep one simple container and have everything in one place. The central dial is rotated so that the opening is above your selected size and this then allows you to gently slide the shot out. Rotate the central dial again to close the dispenser. Small round refill tubs are available for all sizes so you don’t have to keep buying dispensers.
The larger sizes LG – No 6 are a Non Toxic alloy (so comply with UK law) and have a grey coating which slightly cushions them. This also reduces unwanted flash. They can easily be positioned by finger pressure and the recess in the slot allows you to open them up, reposition or move them easily with a fingernail.
Smaller sizes No 8 and No 10 are made from super soft lead (also complying with UK law). Being so soft they can be positioned by finger pressure depending upon the thickness of line being used but, for a better, more even application of pressure, using small, narrow jawed pliers such as Jewellery pliers work extremely well and these are readily available cheaply from multiple sources.
A guide to approximate sizes is:
- LG – 3.0g
- SSG – 1.6g
- AAA – 0.8g
- BB – 0.4g
- No1 – 0.3g
- No4 – 0.2g
- No6 – 0.1g
- No8 – 0.06g
- No10 – 0.04g
