An ecologically clean method is developed and implemented for preparing lead-antimony hunting shot due to exclusion of arsenic compounds from the alloy. Its cost is reduced by using secondary raw material in the form of battery scrap. Deforming tool life is improved as a result of heat treating finished shot instead of heat treating a wire billet; shot drying is accelerated by quenching in boiling water. Shot hardness and precision required by the standard are obtained.
