I only have experience loading the Lyman 525 slug that a member sent me a couple years ago. I really like the results of the Lyman. I'm looking at getting the Lee mold because it will be my first adventure into casting so I think it would be better to choose a cheap mold first. Last thing I want to do is ruin a $70 mold. With the Lyman slug I was using a Remington sts hull, blue dot, and a claybuster waa12f114 clone wad. I wasn't getting the most consistent crimp but they all shot well. All I'm looking to do is blast stuff within 50 yards, doesn't need to be super accurate. They will be shot out of smooth bores. Going for a full power load. Anyone have any good loads that would suit this role using a Remington sts/gun club hull? I'd also like to stick with blue dot if possible. I'm open to any suggestions. Thanks!
