Lyman - 12 GA Slug Making Kit
I finally got my hands on one of these kits.., well it was actually a partial kit and I was able to produce a couple of slugs with it.
Not at all what I expected. The information I had, lead me to believe that this kit made a full bore size slug using the 475gr foster slug.
As it turns out, this kit (mine at least) makes a rifled slug(s) right at .682-.683 diameter, these should fit nicely into shot cups.
I've done a lot of research on this kit, it was supposed to be used in both the EZY Loader and the AA turret press. After playing with it for a couple of hours, I will determine it would tear up the AA turret press. I have a Comet press and it wouldn't even begin to swage these slugs, my EZY Loader did the job nicely.
Check out the pictures and let me know what you think.

BT
I put a package in the mail this morning, you should have it Tuesday.
Let me know how these perform.
UPDATED pics of the Lyman swagged Slugs
- Big thanks to Pressman for the info, I made the knock out rod for the press and everything works great.
Notice the slugs have nice even swagged base, these actually look really nice. The 1st batch I ran all the way thru the die, and the riffling was cut off the back of the slug leaving a jagged edge that needed trimmed.

Lyman - 12 GA Slug Making Kit
Scott,
The slugs arrived today! They look just as good in person as the do online.
My wheels are already tuning. I got for different wads they sit pretty in with a niitrocard or two under the slug.
I’m thinking about filling the base with paraffin wax to keep the nitrocards and wad from pushing up in the cavity of the slug without adding a lot of weight.
