Hi,
Was wondering what buckshot mold were you guys using and what size? Also interested in load data for CYL .730 muzzle 12 guage? I use factory buckshot ammo in my HD weapon but would like to load for range practice! Thanks!

Hi,
Does a nitro wad in the bottom of the wad cup help?

I use the Lee 18 ball 000 buck.
I just got and only used once a Sharp Shooter mold that has 00 on one side and #4 on the other. It is a bit clunky but I ran it real hot and it was better.
I find it faster to load a .690 for 12 ga or .600 for 20 so I don't do a whole lot of buck. Both those are Lee, a single and a double.
As Thomas Jefferson wrote, we must "prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people, under the pretence of taking care of them."
Sharpshooter #1 and 000. Very happy with them. Two molds for around $80.00 delivered. Great deal. I like the simplicity. Also have some ball molds, .575, .600 and .690. Right now working on two .575's in the Hubel Sabot, around 560 grains. If you have the $$$, the Heavy Metal molds sold here by Vendor/Sponsor JT Knives look really nice, around $80.00 plus shipping each.
Hi,
If you wanted to go cheap would the .31 cal round ball LEE mold work for close to OO Buck size?

Yes that would work for sure. Just would take longer, which I don't mind. It is a DC and the Lee Precision round ball molds don't have the annoying "proud" sprue mark the Lymans balls have.
Seagiant, that's the mold I've been using. I used it a lot as a second mold to use while sprues cooled on other molds. Then after Christmas, I went on a speedcasting tear with it, and turned out 65 pounds of those little balls. I'm set for about a thousand rounds of 9 pellet buckshot before I need to use that mold again. I also have the Lee single cavity .600" mold for the Tri-ball, and a Lyman .678" rb mold.

Seagiant, 9 of the .311" pellets weigh less than an ounce, but they fit well in a Win waa12 white wad. If you water drop the balls right out of the mold, and load them like a 1250 fps trap load you will be amazed at how much tighter they pattern than cheap factory buckshot. You can actually put those ghost ring sights to use.

Sounds good! Just what I'm looking for! Can you use Clay's or Red Dot for that? I have Green STS and Win AA hulls?

Yes, generally, but it depends. Read some of Ajay's threads which have great graphics and ideas. Some of the slug info will apply to buckshot loads. Here are a couple:

The wads will work in either of those hulls. I've never used Clays, but I have used Red Dot. International Clays has worked very well for me. I just need to buy more of it as I'm out.

Which load are you using? I have used cut wad petals to gain a taller stack when making less than max loads, but only use a hard card when the load calls for it.

Hi,
I'm not using any load yet, just trying to come up with a receipe that I can use with what I've already have in components!

Greg: Just got one of HM2 Mould's buckshot moulds which does 12 at a time. Really nice pieces of aluminum machined well. They are .330
See them in the Swapin' and Sellin' forum. Very nice stuff.

Hi Randy,
J mentioned those,they look nice. I was going to just get a LEE 2-cav but they are a little hard to find and the shipping. Might be better just to up the money and get one of those! Probably happier in the end and holds its value!

I am using Lee 00 and #4 buckshot moulds. I can make a lot of buck in a short period. I throw them in the tumbler and they look great.
They try telling me that I'm crazy but we know better.
+1 for the Heavy Metal mould. The pellets just fall out. Very nice to use.
"Is all this REALLY necessary?"

Greg: yes the HM2 moulds will hold their value better. I see nothing wrong with the Lee moulds either, and I was actually going to buy one but all of the normal sources were out so I went into the S&S section and found these.

Pretty good work.
