Hi Folks,
Adam604
I've been doing a bit more research and reloading of 12 gauge slugs:
Federal Hull
Winchester W209 Primer
38 grains Blue Dot
Federal 12S4 wad (Brown)
1/8 inch Hard wad
1.9 cc COW ( LEE Scoop)
Lee 7/8 oz Key Drive Slug (~370 grains)
Loaded in a Lee Load ALL 1 press
I modified my lee press a bit... I added a shim tube inside of the 7/8 oz shot bushing to drop 38 grains of Blue Dot, (trial and error it took me about 8 tries to get it to work)
I loaded 50 rounds and it took about an hour after modifying my press
What I was testing was the performance of the 38 Grain load of Blue Dot
The day was pretty wet, raining pretty hard on and off while shooting a bit windy too
I'm using a Mossberg 500 with cylinder bore barrel with a Browning Rifled screw in choke.
I really liked the results at 38 grains of Blue Dot
Pictures show the results...
