What is Silver Shot?

Silver shot is silver in one of its rawest possible forms. After silver is mined, it is often refined into silver grain or silver shot that is then sold to refiners. For example, many cast silver bars are actually made by melting down silver shot and pouring it into prefabricated molds. As the molten silver shot cools, it takes the form of the cast silver bar mold and can be validated by a certified assayer for its weight and purity.

Silver shot as it exists in the original form is silver that was refined by a lab, in most cases, and melted down. That molten silver is then typically thrown into cold water. The process forces the silver to break apart into small globs or grains that are often no more than a few millimeters across. The average single grain of silver shot is roughly 1/4 inch (6 mm) in diameter. Because it resembles BB gun pellets, this silver product is often known simply as silver shot.

Silver shot is commonly used in the jewelry industry for products that require a certain purity of silver. Additionally, as mentioned, it can be used by refiners to produce cast or other poured silver products.
