    Uncle D’s Fury Slugs

    I chose these two loads out of the 5 that I had pressure tested a few months ago.

    First load was 40 grs of Steel under a BW 18(BP 18) wad and then the slug. All this was crammed in a 3” Fiocchi hull and fold crimp. Now for those of you that know me, knows I’m very particular and detailed about my finished crimps, since crimps play a large part in slug accuracy and is often overlooked. The crimps on these were rather domed and that bothered me. I figured the accuracy wouldn’t be great and I was right.

    With 40 grs of Steel, pressure was really low, but the recoil was STOUT. Believe me. Shots were all over the place. I think if I tamed it down to maybe 35 grs, those groups will tighten up because I’ll have more room to crimp. My crimps where very inconsistent with this load. Maybe I’ll replace the flex seal with a x12x seal and pressure test those. It should be within SAAMI specs.

    38 grs of Blue Dot produces better accuracy. Still need to play around with this a bit. Don’t really care for groups this loose at 50 yards, but it’s a start.

    Leon,

    What if you put a thin NC over the nose of the slug and roll crimped?

    why not shove that thing into a all brass shell and put a crimp on it like a rifle boolit? then you could just put some felt wads behind it to make a wad column.... crimp it with the rcbs cowboy 12g die..

    sure looks like a beast this way.. lol. prolly a single shot though, and wont cycle through a 870, but would work wonders in a double gun with little to no choke..

    I bought some of these bullets and when I measured them I felt that the size was too close to the barrel sizes as a little scared of theses Click image for larger version.

    They are supposed to be .729". Most 12 gauge rifled barrels run .729" to .732" in the grooves.

    Nothing to worry about. You don’t want an undersized slug.

    The barrels on the Euro guns run small. My Saiga was 0.720" in 12ga. I can't remember what the 20 ga was but it was smaller as well. That was a Saiga too. Both were the AK type of guns. Back when I paid $149 for the 20 and $169 for the 12ga. from CDNN
