Does anyone have or know the load data for the Dixie IXL-DGS slug?

Powder amount? BPI Buckshot manual has a 773gr load with 30.5gr of Blue Dot, and 28.5gr of HS6 for a 2.75in hull (page 49) @ 1100fps. I have Blue Dot, Longshot, and Steel.

I know it was a 3in magnum weighing 870gr @ 1200fps.

I can see what gas seals and corks were used from a snapshot on it in the Taofledermaus video.326314

The BPI Cheddite manual has comparable loads with Longshot, Steel and Blue Dot.

27 - 28gr of Longshot (I have lots) should be good.

I had a mold custom made.

Slugs weigh 1.75oz / 765gr by itself.

I will check around at home for the data James used. I built the original molds for him way back when. He ended up gluing the first gas seal or wad onto the casting IIRC.

LOL....a true Dangerous Game Slug
I've read so much about how awesome it was, plus the Taofledermaus video, that I had to get a custom mold made of it since you can't buy them anymore.
