I just finished molding a couple of slugs, and as soon as the rain stops and I can get to the range, I hope to do some load developments and accuracy testing.
Slugs are 488 grains, with a + or - of 1.8 grains.
My reloading hull will be a 2 3/4" Federal Gold Medal.
Just doing chronograph readings, I have the following velocities recorded:
1,100 fps.
1,200 fps.
1,300 fps.
1,400 fps.
1,500 fps.
1,600 fps.
1,700 fps.
The highest pressure limit of any load does not exceed 10,800 psi..
What do you guys think the best velocity level might be, when it comes to the accuracy of these slugs?
I don't want to have to shoot hundreds of rounds to find an accurate load, and was hoping you guys could tell me which direction to go for an accurate load.
Thank you for your time and help.
