Guys a heads up,,, my Brass Inserted 12 ga. STI Slug is now "Certified as Non Toxic" by CA Fish and Wildlife and on the California List of Ammo Certified for use for hunting in this state.
As of 1 July 2019 nobody will be able to hunt anything is this state with lead ammo.
There are other outfits that sell Non Toxic shotgun slugs, however as far as I know I am the only one on the CA approved list, so it might be a good thing.
I am almost ready to start selling these as a kit with 5 Slugs and 5 Primed Rio Hulls and some load data. You will supply the powder and load of your choice and roll crimp the hull closed.
This is kind of a specialty item and I don't expect many sales from here but I wanted to let everybody know anyway.
Here's pics of the slug, a loaded test round, and the packaging with loaded test rounds. You don't get loaded ammo!
This one is 550 gr or 1 1/4 oz. Load testing will be looking for 1200 fps. These are designed to be fired from a "Rifled Shotgun Barrel" ONLY!!!!!!. They will be safe from a Cylinder Bore Barrel but I doubt the accuracy will be usable for any distance. NO CHOKES! Period. These won't compress like a Brenneke. There will be a Specific Warning on the package stating this. I expect anyone who purchases these and can finish loading them will know the difference between a Rifled Barrel and a Choked Barrel.
All I have left is getting some kind of stickers made for the package.
Wish me luck Randy
