I contacted Lee Precision to ask if they had plans to release an 18-cavity mold for #1 buckshot. Got a reply from them today that yes they are, should become available in 6 weeks, product #92068.

Good news! Now if they would just make some in #3 for us 20 gauge shooters.
That would be cool. I think I've got a .319", and I've got a 2 buck mold from Sharpshooter. I don't think I have a .300" buckshot mold.
They already have a 18 cav #4 buck mold. That works great in both 12 and 20 I think. YMMVQuote:

I have not patterned it yet, last couple summers have been hot and hectic.
I think that you can get at least 10 number 1 buck in a standard 20 ga shell. Should be a good load.Quote:

It shouldn't be that hard. 10 pellets of 1 buck is pretty much a standard 7/8oz load.Quote:

I didn’t know they had a 6-cav .31” mold!
I’ll have to check it out!
I’ve been using a .31” 2-cav for about 30yrs!
It loads GREAT 20ga loads!
I use a 1oz wad, 17gr of LongShot, cheap hulls (win or fed)
I’ve killed deer and pigs with them from my CZ/Turkish made S/S.
I think Track of the Wolf has them, so does MP Molds if you want 8 cavity
What kind of patterns were you going for with your "Slingshot." I figure it should do about 6" at 10 yards which would be a good load for the house as you wouldn't have to worry about over penetration or shooting thru walls or stuff like that.Quote:

TOTW exclusive. I’ll wait and see if Lee does make a .31” gang mold.
$61.95 is a tad steep. No more than I cast/load…
The Lee #1 Buckshot mold is now for sale on their website.
Give it a few days, it should be at Titan Reloading for way cheaper soon.
On the Lee site, they list a 6 cavity .490 round ball mold for $65.00.Quote:
