Trying to make slug loads w/Lee 7/8oz Drive Key & ?? Hulls-help pls.
The dia of Lee 7/8 oz slug & this wad petals still require [dimensionally that is] use of a CYL choke. However 3-Gun stages often require use of birdshot & slugs in same stage, i.e. no time for shoke changes.
Anyone have experience shooting this slug thru, say, MODIFIED chokes without damage & decent accuracy?
I was hoping to use my stock of 2x Remington Greenies, but that seems problematic, as attempts to stack 20ga spacers, etc to build a good wad column were ugly & time consuming. My quest led me to purchase 250 Federal 1x & some internal components just for this straight walled hulls from Ballistic Products. I didn't know I needed straight walled hulls to load for slugs & their accompanying 'spacers', et al.
I'll be 'playing' with this 'lego' set now. Thanks for watching. I made the 1st reload with above components & stating with 20gr of Unique. I'll load 15 rnd batches using 15gr to 20gr loads @ 25yd indoor range for grouping. They don't allow chrono's to be setup, so waiting for a nice day outdoors.
Still concerned about flying that "Drive Key" soft lead slug thru tighter chokes like a Modified. Anyone stretch their muzzle using this slug?
