I shoot a full bore solid that casts at .731" using WW and weights 738gr. I load them over a fiberwad and a gas seal. Best powders so far are IMR SR4759 and IMR 4227. I use Fiocchi hulls and FED 209A primers. In my churched up Savage 210F I can get them into 1.5MOA pretty consistently to 100yds. Past that things begin to open up and wind becomes a big issue.

Jason,
 
When are you going to stop casting them small game bullets and make some proper big game slugs? ::)   That 700 grain chunk of lead whizzing out the barrel of a 12ga USH ought to put a big hurt on any deer or pig you run across.   8)

These are cast at. 734 to. 7345 . People have been posting concern about diameter in h&r shotgun forum. They shoot great out of my h&r ush. If you can shoot oversize in a rifle or pistol whats the difference in a shotgun.

Accurate molds made it. You pick your own specs. and he makes them. A two cavity aluminum is 100 dollars

mspaci,
These bullets are cast from WW lead that is water dropped and then they are lubed.  The harder bullet & lube takes care of the leading issue with these slugs.  Also the shear weight of the slug and the pressure limits of a 12ga barrel will keep you from pushing them fast enough to lead up your barrel.  The leading issue with foster slugs in a rifled barrel is due to the very soft lead used in the fosters so they can bump up on a smoothbore and also to allow them to pass through a choke w/o incident.
