Medium- and high-density articles are formed from melting and casting alloys containing tungsten, iron, nickel and optionally manganese and/or steel. In some embodiments, the articles have densities in the range of 8-10.5 g/cm3,and in other embodiments, the articles have densities in the range of 10.5-15 g/cm3. In some embodiments, the articles are ferromagnetic, and in others the articles are not ferromagnetic. In some embodiments, tungsten forms the largest weight percent of the alloy, and in other embodiments the alloy contains no more than 50 wt % tungsten. In some embodiments, the articles are shell shot.

1. A method for making articles having densities greater than 8 g/cc, comprising: forming a molten alloy comprising the following range of compositions: 20-70% tungsten; 10-70% nickel; 0-55% iron; and casting an article at least substantially from the alloy. 2. An article produced accordi
1. A method for making articles having densities greater than 8 g/cc, comprising: forming a molten alloy comprising the following range of compositions: 20-70% tungsten; 10-70% nickel; 0-55% iron; and casting an article at least substantially from the alloy. 2. An article produced according to the method of claim 1. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the casting step includes drop casting. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the casting step includes drop casting the molten alloy through a sieve. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein the article is shell shot. 6. The method of claim 3, wherein the casting step includes drop casting the molten alloy without passing the molten alloy through a sieve. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein the article is shell shot. 8. An article produced according to the method of claim 3. 9. The article of claim 8, wherein the article has an aspect ratio in the range of 1.1and 1.5. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the casting step includes near-net-shape casting. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the casting step includes casting an ingot from the alloy and then forging the article from the ingot. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein the casting step includes mechanically deforming the cast article to a desired shape and size. 13. The method of claim 11, wherein the casting step includes mechanically sizing the cast article by compressive grinding. 14. The method of claim 1, wherein the alloy further includes 5-15% steel. 15. The method of claim 1, wherein the alloy includes no more than 50% tungsten. 16. The method of claim 1, wherein the alloy has a density in the range of 8-10.5 g/cc. 17. The method of claim 1, wherein the alloy has a density in the range of 10.5-15 g/cc. 18. The method of claim 1, wherein the article is ferromagnetic. 19. The method of claim 1, wherein the article is not ferromagnetic. 20. The method of claim 1, wherein the nickel:iron weight ratio of the alloy is ≥1. 21. The method of claim 1, wherein the nickel:iron weight ratio of the alloy is <1. 22. The method of claim 1, wherein the alloy further includes manganese. 23. The method of claim 1, wherein the alloy includes ferrotungsten. 24. The method of claim 1, wherein the article is completely formed from the alloy. 25. Shell shot, comprising: a cast alloy comprising: 20-70% tungsten; 10-70% nickel; and 0-55% iron. 26. The shell shot of claim 25, wherein the shell shot has an aspect ratio of 1.1-1.5. 27. The shell shot of claim 25, wherein the shell shot is ferromagnetic. 28. The shell shot of claim 25, wherein the shell shot is not ferromagnetic. 29. The shell shot of claim 25, wherein the cast alloy further comprises manganese. 30. The shell shot of claim 25, wherein the cast alloy further comprises steel. 31. The shell shot of claim 25, wherein the cast alloy contains no more than 50% tungsten. 32. The shell shot of claim 25, wherein the cast alloy contains ferrotungsten. 33. The shell shot of claim 25, wherein the shell shot is adapted for use in a shotgun having a barrel with a hardness and further wherein the shell shot has a hardness that is less than the hardness of a barrel. 34. A shotgun shell, comprising: a casing containing wadding, a charge and a primer; a plurality of shellshot within the casing, wherein the shell shot are at least substantially formed from a cast alloy comprising: 20-70% tungsten; 10-70% nickel; and 0-55% iron. 35. The shotgun shell of claim 34, wherein the shellshot are completely comprised of the cast alloy.
