Next Project - 20 gauge slugs (not sabots)

[skeet]

GOB Listen to Buckhunter. I did the slug thing quite a few years ago. Lyman had a 12 and 20 ga slug mould..and a rifling die But they no longer have the same stuff. It was a LOT of work to make up the loads...and accuracy was very elusive. Maybe what I should say..accuracy was non existent. Lyman and Lee have a newer type of wasp-wasted new slug that is somewhat better..but not much. and although it does not use a real sabot it is loaded in a regular plastic wad. That said.. I tried 'em too. My actual take on the whole thing? Spend the money if ya want but it will end up being a money pit..almost as bad as a boat..on a smaller scale. You might find a slug load that will shoot real close..for a shot or two..Think of it this way...A lyman mould will be 70 dollars without handles. At 80 cents each for factory..that is 90 rounds. and they will be infinitely more accurate. Even when I did crop damage deer shooting I only shot 125 rounds a year or less shooting from 70-100 deer.per year. Sounds neat to load yer own..but it ain't even worth thinking about
