I've never used the 578-478-M, but, I can tell you that the 575-472-M and the 575-470-M make great 20 gauge slugs.
As for your question. The skirt blowing out should not be an issue at any powder...

Nice gun. I see the stock has been refinished. That is NOT the original finish. I just sold the one I had to a fella in Baltimore, Maryland. I really liked it for the compact size and it's very...
I did the roller in my drill press in my woodshop, it's a craftsman 1.75 HP similar to the one shown above. I was never happy with the results, so, I started appreciating the crimp I got from the Lee...
Looks better than most of the many I tried to roll. I gave up and now I just star crimp everything. Much easier in my Lee shotshell presses.
I cast the Lee 575-470-M - my answer to the no longer manufactured Remington Buckhammer 20 gauge slug. I also cast the Lee 575-472-M, which was my first attempt at a BuckHammer result. I later found...
Yeah I tried that, but, I am not paying $9.00 shipping for $6.00 worth of product.
I am currently using two different versions of the 58 cal, Modern and Improved, bullets. However the issue with the Commander wads is the fact that when you press the slug into the Commander wads...
Trying to find someone who casts the Lyman sabot slug in 20 gauge. Does anyone here cast these ?
I see a lot of guys casting the 12 gauge version, but, I'm looking for some info on the 20 gauge.

Use 2-3 complete coats of the Lee Alox. Works just fine.

Man I killed a lot of deer with my LK-II / Wolverine Knight rifles. I was sorry to see mine go, but, they ran their course for just over 10 years. That LK-II will do you just fine.

I always wanted to try a kit, but, the prices are way too high and from all the years of reading I have done on the kits it seems to be a hassle. However, I look forward to seeing how yours turned...

Wheel weights are a waste of time. Unless you have too much time on your hands and really need something to occupy it. Either buy it off of ebay or find a good source for pre-molded ingots. When I...

I glue the cut sabot base to a .45 bullet and get the same effect. ( CVA PowerBelt ?) Interested now...
You could also convert to the Lee REAL bullets and leave the patches and sabots at home.

The solution is stop using that garbage. I bought a can of it, because a few fellows praised it as the gospel when it first came out, and man I was glad it was gone. I actually poured out the last...

I only use Pyrodex RS and P simply because it is cleaner than anything else. Triple 7 is the dirtiest garbage I have ever seen.

That's all I shoot anymore is my own casts in Harvester sabots.
I recently purchased a Lee #358-158-RF from Titan Reloading. I have purchased several molds from Titan and I am extremely pleased with Dennis' customer service and products. However, this mold has...

I've seen one thing stick out. The statement "two years ago" Have you replaced dry-rotted o-ring?
It did take me several tries to get my 12 gauge slugs dropping properly when I first got the mold. After I found the right pour speed and height, the slugs all dropped clean and within 1-2 grains of...
I'll back Don3 as well. I did some business with him a while back and nothing but good things to say about my transaction.

I'm not even going to ask what a "launch platform" is, but, I am going to ask why you chose such a light bullet. I also assume you mean Hammerlock. Now that I'm done teasing with you.
