[jim4348]

Hi, I hope i"m in the right place...My first post.
I was wondering if someone could give me the length and diameter dimensions of the lyman 20 Ga. sabot slug ??. Can't seem to find it anywhere.
Tnx in advance.....Jim

Length = 0.930 in.
Head = 0.560 in.
Skirt = 0.544 in.

Weighs 360 grains out of pure lead from my mold.

Hello and a hearty welcome to this Elite Musketeer Brotherhood family group, if you have not purchased the Lyman mold then you have some other cheaper good choices like .575" RB mold weighing 285 to 290 gr. from Lee for $18+ change or if you want to go heavier try Lee 575-472-M mold weighing 460 gr for $18+ change from MidSouth.

I have great fun shooting the .575" RB in 20 ga and have a lot of information right here:

be sure to have your wife keep filling the coffee pot as you will consume a lot of it before you are finished.

If you already have the Lyman mold then go ahead and experiment with different wads till you get the accuracy you are looking for.
If you have a smooth bore barrel then do let us know then you need to do a push through test for pressure safety!

Thank you for the information.I acquired a H7R 20 Ga,. rifled barrel, and was wanting to work up a sabot load for it. Looking at the Lee 58 cal. R.E.A.L. bullet to see if I can make it work. MY gun slugged at .6150 bore and groove at .619. Might be something to play with. I have been reloading for many years, but brand new to cast bullets. Much to learn...Tnx again
