If you go to slug gun and their ammo forum you may find some info I can't help much with the 12ga as both mine are smooth bores and I got what amounts to a lifetime supply of winchester and slugger factory rounds .But latter this summer I will be developing handloads for the new ultragon . Plumber Roy has been working with handloads for the 12 though. Check out some of his reports farther down in the sluggun forum.Kurt

 i am still looking for some data on loading 12 ga. slugs for target usage. i want something that i can practice with that dosent kick like a mule. now call me a wimp if you want but it ceases to be fun after a few rounds with standard slug loads. there has to be some light loads somewhere that can be used for practice that dont rattle your teeth when the trigger is pulled. joe gifford

Hodgdon has lead slug data for 2¾" shotshells.

Check out Plumberoys data and reduce the powder. What grain are the molds you have?? Check out the Lyman shotshell reloading manual they have Lee and Lyman bullet data. Take that data and reduce powder to get 1000-1200fps Kurt
