Yeah I did that for a while but the time involved quickly became too much for me.
Not sure if anyone would be interested or not, but a while ago I got sick of being told my LGS was out of "specialty" shotgun components (non-resin wads, filler wads, cushion wads, overshot cards) so...

Longbow is correct; Lyman makes an excellent 20G fost slug mould and the Lee Load-All II does indeed do slugs. Not sure if I'd run a slug through a full choke barrel though, foster or otherwise.
I own a gun store in Canada where we sell a lot of reloading/casting gear, particularly for shotguns. If you're absolutely sure the only thing you want to reload is slugs you may want to check out...

Can we get an update as to what's going on with this buy?

Is this GB still happening? There doesn't seem to have been any updates from the Honcho for some time...

Please put me down for one Brass 4-Cavity Cramer Mould, Plain Base with one set of Large HP Pins, one set of Large Penta HP Pins and a set of Handles (if available).

Ah nuts, I didn't realize there was no plain base option, sorry I have to drop out as well. I don't like messing around with gas checks.

Please add me for one mould - 4-Cavity Large HP, extra set hex pins (if available), handles (if available) greg at tacticaladvantage dot ca

I'm sorry but I need to drop out of this one. It's been more than a year and a half for an order with 70+ would-be buyers, that's just ludicrous.

Well, that settles that. UpNorth; what's the process to place an order? I'm making cores for .22LR-to-.223 bullets. Do you have all the diameter info or do I need to submit something to you?
Forum: Swaging
I did not but that looks like exactly what I need.
Forum: Swaging
Are there any active or upcoming core mould buys/builds in the works? I've looked through the active group buys section of the forum and monitor the swaging section but I haven't seen anything that...

Wow that's pretty incredible consistency, no wonder you skip swaging them.
I hear you on the lead; I have a set of 'casting' clothes that don't come in the house and a special mask designed for...
Forum: Swaging
What kind of core mould are you using, Howard? I have one from Blackmon and while it's a good quality product, I don't trust it down to the grain so I still core-swage.
As for toxic chemicals, I...

That's way too much for WW; I pay $0.25/lb and that's in Canuck-Bucks.

As a few have mentioned, the problem with not cleaning the lube off the core before seating is that it prevents the jacket from properly 'crimping' to the core, which means theoretically it could...
I cast and shoot the Lyman 20ga Sabots regularly. As has been mentioned here already, they are unfortunately a bit too tall to fit in a regular hull, you need the extra large 3". I've experimented...

Was able to pick up an NOE extra/cancellation; please cancel my order thanks.

Put me down for a four cavity cramer HP, with one set each of large HP and penta HP pins plus handles.

I think I waited three or four months for my kit to arrive, I forget now to be honest. Dr. Blackmon is a great guy to deal with though, NewCastter, and I can tell you that the quality of his product...
