Is there such a thing?
How about "upsizing" an Ideal/Lyman 386178 (0.386"OD, 200gr RNL, hollow-base for the 41LC) How hard would that be?

Have you any idea what a 386178 sells for on eBone? If not, and you have one, send it my way! I have a .41LC!

No idea. Never heard of/seen such a thing until I started digging around looking for a superior .410 slug.

Ironsights:
Lyman actually made at one time (cataloged 1963 - 74) a .410 Foster slug mould, but I've never run across one. Like the 12-16-20 ga. ones, it would be a deep hollow base, without the outside spiral grooves. (They made a push-through die to cut these, but experiments show that the Foster slugs shoot just as well - or badly!- without the grooves.)

NOV SHMOZ KA POP?
Yeah, according to Federal, their testing shows no twist in the slug due to the groves... but people expect them to be there.
Lee makes a 12ga foster slug mold with a "key" that is somehow supposed to impart / aid twist.

...............The grooves are only on shotgun slugs to ease it through the choke. They collapse easier then a solid.
