    That looks pretty darn good for a 100 yard group, well done. I hope I'll have the same success.

    That accuracy is outstanding. Between this and Uncle Dino, some of the best non-factory accuracy I have seen.
    Great to see

    I'm hoping my H.H. Slug mould and SPW wads arrive soon. Mind you with this great Canadian -30 deg Celsius weather we've been having, it's still a bit too cold in the garage to cast.

    Uncle D's is by the far the most accurate from scratch. Without those SPW wads, we'd be screwed.

    Kinda pricey, but amazingly accurate.
    Might have to do a few here and there, but certainly won't be the one I let friends blast away in the back yard with.

    Here's a question. All the data that S.R.U. uses SR4756 of which I have none and doesn't look like any will making it to Canada in the near future. LGS staff had said it's been really hard to get in the last few years or longer.
    What I do have is; 800x, HS6, Titegroup and a wee bit of Greendot.
    The question is which one would be most ideal?
    Thanks in advance

    800x is my favorite for this load.

    They perform the same as Fiocchi. Awesome to use. I use a ton of them for my work ups.

    My parcel from SRU arrived
    I'll get out to the garage today and cast some slugs up.
    Blood Trail,
    Any reason HS6 should or shouldn't be used? Do you recommend a safe starting Load?
    TIA

    I would start around 32 grs and work up to 36 grs.

    Herco

    36 grains herco had a wider group than blue dot . Less kick, seemed not as fast 50 yards (target sideways)

    Back when I was loading these, they didn't have data for Longshot, so I ventured out. Had good results, emailed them back with my results, and they pressure tested my load and added it to their published data. This group was from both my 835 and USH. 33 grs of Longshot @ 1450 fps.

    I put in my first order with Slugs R Us today, Hammerheads in both 12 and 20ga. and extra wads of each so I could try 44 and 50 cal. lead bullets in the sabots. Was somewhat surprised that they charged over $20 shipping and was feeling a little roughed up over it but I wanted to try their products so I went ahead with the order. Then this evening I got a notice from PayPal that my account had been refunded $10 for a better shipping rate. I feel better about them now and all's well. Gp
