Welcome to the forums.

No, but they are very interesting, aren't they? The first thing I thought of was to load them in Magtech brass shotshells:

What are your plans? Are you going to use plastic hulls and a roll crimper? If you proceed with the project I hope you'll come back and report on your progress.

Take care, Tom

If I had a rifled gun that is the slug type I would choose for sure. I like the history behind them and to have a mould that would cast both solid and hollowpoint would be nice.

One day maybe.

Load recipes are a little limited for those heavy slugs though unless you use equivalent weight shot data... that is unless you know of load data for heavy slugs.

I have loaded slugs of up to 800 grs. using the equivalent weight method and Blue Dot with good success. There are a few people here that have developed heavy slug load recipes but I am not aware of any published, pressure tested info for slugs over about 600 grs.

Yes, please post progress.

You'll be happy with CBE. I just bought a 310 Cadet mold from them. Please let us know how your project goes.
