    FWIW....
    I got me one of LEEs .311" Round Ball Molds and cast a cup full of '00-SG' out of stick-on ww...
    9 of them stack nicely 3x3 into Win AA 32g wads and they crimp and shoot just fine for me

    8 Ball Buckshot

    My apologies to those who may have seen a prior post with this photo.
    I wanted to show a visual of the load described above, 8 buckshot at 90 degrees in an AA hull, over a nominal load of Unique.
    At 30 yards through a Mossberg slug barrel (cylinder bore, no choke), all 8 remain in the 6" center of an 8" paper plate.
    Groups even tighter when the Wad petals are taped closed.
    Bad news for anything in the line of fire.

    I had done a test on 00 bucks shot in my 410 .What i did is I did not roll the shot to take off the sharp edges of the where the spur was and the pattern was all over and then I roll the shot to take the sharp edges off ,I had got a good pattern . just wanted to let who would like to know on it. For when they do there test rounds.This s what I found for myself for what i was looking for.

    I was in the same situation, had an excess of OO buck and a .310" six hole mold. I found tha 2 - .310" pellets and one OO will stack inside a cup. Used up all my excess OO buck that way.
