Just added another 8 lbs today. Came by FedEx through the snow and cold weather. Took an extra week but it finally made it.
I like cats....I just can't eat a whole one by myself!!
I think he's got the "bug". Stripercrazy, if you do some searching on this site, you may save yourself a lot of time by not having to "reinvent the wheel", not to mention saving dollar bills. The...
Does the ball stick out past the bottom of the slug? When loaded, does the slug sit flat on the 170 dark nitro wad? A benifit of it extending out the bottom is that it should add to the airodynamics...
When I first started reloading shotshells some 50 yrs ago, the filler wad most commenly used was the Alcan 1/4" and 1/2" waxed fiber wad. They were very hard and probably didn't distort or crush at...
Hi Ajay,
Thanks for the kind words. I call it "my little piece of heaven here on earth". One part, you had it wrong. We only have 70
acres here. A buddy just shot a real nice buck here this am. I...
Jmortimer,
I agree. When I look at my 12ga, I see the largest bored and heaviest hitting "rifle" in my safe. The next biggest would be my little 20ga "rifle". I love being able to shoot full...
That is my thoughts and the #1 item on my fun "bucket list" - a new barrel without the cone
Ajay and JMortimer,
Well said JMortimer. There is always "only a few" of any organization, endevor, or ajenda, that carries the ball for the watching masses. It certainly applies here as is it so...
Cpileri,
Excellent info on the wads. I grew up loading the Alcan wads and the hard waxed filler wads.
Forcing cone?? I understand the reason for them in the SHOT gun, but why are they in the...
You're right. It is nice being able to walk out to the range. I have even considered making a "portable load bench" to wheel out beside the shooting bench. Kinda silly when it's only a matter of...

Herters type "O" press was $27 there abouts. I bought it in 59 or 60 and I still use it today. Needle bearings in the toggle arm and is smooooth as glass. Big ram is largest that I know of in the...
My mistake..another senior moment. It all starts on page 1 or post #17. Sorry for the bunny trail.
Ajay
Yea, agree about the 350gr and I have that mold also. I will 30-50 molded, ready for the Super Sabots when you make them available.
I have an old Lyman bottom pour pot I use to mold...
Good Morning Ajay,
Here is a post you made in SW on June 10.
Greetings, In 20 gauge, here we used a 400 gr bullet of .480 cal. at 2020 fps:
At muzzle 2020 fps, Energ 3624 lbs
At 100 yards...
Thanks Ajay,
I'm molding slugs as I type. It's great that you keep is informed of your status. This has to put a lot is stress on you. You are going to provide the custom sabots/OP wads that this...
Yes it is. That's one of the most popular slug guns that guys are using for high velocity loads. Price is fair on them also.
Ajay,
I'm not getting bald yet but the grey is setting in real well. I think I'm just a year or so ahead of ya. Just turned 69 last month but feel like I'm still in my 20's. Went fishing on a...
Cpileri,
I started at 80gr and worked up to 100gr. Turbo has killed two deer with the 100gr of R-17. He has done a lot of testing with the R-17 in the 20ga. I buy his 1oz TC slugs. With all the...
And that was using Turbo's full bore 1oz TC slug. Using now also with the 4759. I want that 4" group or smaller to hunt with. I want to try the OP wad Ajay has developed for his Super Blazing...
I too followed Turbo's and Ed Huble's info using R-17. Started with 80gr and in 1.0gr increments to 95gr then .5gr to 100gr. No signs of pressure on any of them. I shoot the Savage 220F with roll...
Cpileri,
Did you get the copper slug from Greg?? He had some a while ago but I think the were 780gr plu or minus. They would make a great home defence round.
