I Read a Standard 1oz 12ga Slug can travel about 5500 ft = 1,833.3 yds. If Sighted in for 100 yds it has a 10"-12" drop at 200 yds depending on Load fps. With that said. I want to develop a 12ga Slug Load for my New Typhoon F12 I got from the Wife for Xmas. Also got a 4x32 Scope with Range Finder.
3/4 oz = 328.125 gr
1.0 oz = 437.5 gr
1.125 oz = 492.1875 gr
1.25 oz = 546.875 gr
IF, a Lyman 12ga Sabot Slug is supposed to be 525 gr = 1.2 oz!
My Questions:
1. Is the Lyman 12ga Slug 525gr made with Wheel Weights, or Lead Pipe or Plumbers Lead, etc?
2. Has anyone used this 12 Gauge Sabot Slug Bullet Mold Svarog Match (Lyman style)?
3. Wheel Weights are the easiest to find. With a Lyman Sabot Mold, what does the Avg Slug Weight made with Wheels Weights?
4. Since it's a Semi-Auto 12ga, what are the Cleanest Burning Powders?
