shotgun slugs
« on: December 08, 2007, 01:44:38 PM »
 Just wondering if anyone knows where I can get slugs for reloading ? Either the foster type or sabot type. I use a fully rifled barrel.
 Thanks,

From my limited experience I believe that the foster type slugs are the best way to go when loading your own slugs. They are relatively easy to cast, if you want to cast your own, just make sure you use pure lead. The accuracy difference between soft , pure lead and anything harder is unbelievable. What I reloaded out grouped the hgih dollar sabots in rifled barrels.

catfish Do you cast your own? What mold do you use. I was looking at a 1oz foster type. I see where Lee has a 1oz mold but from the reviews,it has a problem with the center pin falling out.

I have yet to have a problum with my lee mold.  at the price for them, if you can cast 300 slugs you have more them paid for it.
