The Speer .45 caliber 200 grain LSWC projectile works so well in the .45 ACP.
I increased the dimensions by + 400 % to give it a try as a 12 gage full bore slug.
It's almost full 2 ounces...

The plastic cases worked well enough,you can see...

Some light weights and some heavy hitters.
Just need time to get to the range. :Fire:j

Thanks for the tip.

So far 1/2&1/2 Lino/Pb turns beautifully,...
Thanks! I need dimensions of the slug and wad.
Can I borrow or buy it ?? :wink:

I used 3/4" Black Pipe lined with Parchment Paper and a wooden plug to cast oversized blanks out of 1/2&1/2 Lino / Pb alloy.

Anyone lathe turning 12 gage full bore slugs for smoothebore or rifled barrels?
Seems a cost effective way for experimenting with slug design without going broke buying moulds that may or may not...
Anyone have an unfired slug and wad I could borrow or buy for examination and measurment ?
Don't need a loaded round ,just the slug and pusher wad.
