Anyone tried these? I have a new hunter for next season and wanted to get him set up with my smoothbore 870 20 gauge with the fury foster slugs. Can’t find any data for them so I’m hoping someone...
20 gauge for deer with slugs (even predators with my buckshot handloads when I don’t feel like lugging my 12 gauge through the deep snow) but I also use my 12 for the same things. Guess it depends on...
So I bought a bag of these hulls to try thinking my BPI manuals would have more data than they do. Are they the same as what Federal calls their "3 inch one piece plastic case" or does anyone have a...
Sorry, they’re the 600 mark 5

I’ll try that this weekend. I’ve taken to roll crimping new 3 inch hulls until I can get it figured out.

Both my load all 2 and my new mec presses have issues when loading 3” hulls where the hull buckles or squished down forming a ring at the bottom. For the 12 gauge I’ve tried 3/4” pvc as a support but...
Thank you for the info. I was under the impression that a round ball or slug load could be made using shot data as long as it (the ball/slug/bullet) is equal to or less than the weight of the shot...
Are you using published data for your loads or making your own? I’d like to try that .575 bullet/wad sabot.

What size pipe is needed for 20 gauge?

Nice! We’re starting to get pigs up here in NY, but laws won’t allow us to shoot them.

I have the Slugs r us sabots on the way but I noticed the plastic basewad slugs from Fury while browsing around, anyone use them or have data for them? They seem like they'd be effective at my ranges...
I won't dare tell you what I am getting from a friend when he makes it back home.
I should have mentioned that I was going to put them in a wad (that's what I get for asking questions when I am over tired). The wads I have at my disposal are- Clay buster equivalents of the AA12R...
Recently came into possession of some .690 pure lead RB (I believe for Muzzleloaders), would I have any issues using these for deer hunting out of a 12 gauge? It would be out of a rifled barrel.
My step dad has a mossberg bolt action 20 gauge with c-lect choke and 2 shot mag. Been in his family for quite sometime and none of the blood family really wants it. Would love if it came to me

This is good to know when I finally get to a point to start casting. I did order some of GT's Lyman sabot slugs to try for deer this fall if I can get an accurate load. Is 2-2-96 okay for this...

See, now I want to start with .357 round ball loads. You guys are a bad influence [emoji16]

I’m definitely getting the feel for it as I go. Going to load some gold medal hulls with a 1 3/8-1.5oz load.

I wound up fixing it after this shell. Was still getting the pressure down for the crimp.

She really doesn’t care. It’s more that I’m doing so much already lol.

Lol thanks. I told my girlfriend that I was getting into reloading. Her response was “because you need another hobby” since I already hunt, fish and play tournament paintball.

Thanks guys. I picked up a load all 2 to start since I don’t have the room for a dedicated bench at the moment. Basically just using it for depriming/sizing, priming and crimping. Shot charges are...
