Dominion Arms in Canada offers (offered?) zinc 12 gauge 2 3/4" slugs. I don't know the loading, though have shot a few. Seemed to work just fine in my various smooth bore shotguns but not very good in a rifled 870.

Jason, the 25mm base shells were made for the 512!
I also modified my load just a bit by using a ⅛" 20 Ga cork wad inside the sabot pressure's wad powder cup. I felt that the fold could be a bit "tighter," meaning that I needed a bit more stack in the hull. You have to have something hold the cork in place as the wad is pushed into the hull and it is hard to find something that sticks to either, just long enough to get it seated. A glue stick worked, and I have a very tight six-star crimp made with the Lee Load-All II. The clear hull on the left was my previous work, the star is just a little bit uneven.

Michael: Have you tried just loading the 3" hulls normally and using a Long Roll Crimp to close the hull?

I have a 3" die coming for the MEC Jr.
Greetings, I too had found it out early on the fold crimp gives better combustion and the accuracy was far better with fold crimp. Most of my loading and testing was with fold crimp.
I use to have two drill press with roll crimp just sitting there, still do.
