    glue filled lyman slugs?

    has anyone noticed any accuracy increase from using glue filled Lyman 525 slugs vs without using the same load data?

    The glue in the bottom trick seemed to increase accuracy about 1/4 to a 1/3 better , but bear in mind I’m using them in smoothbores .

    think it would make a difference in a carlson rifled choke?

    I’m loading the glue filled 525 and shooting from a Benelli M1 with Carlson’s rifled tube. My load is giving me 5” to 5.5” groups at 80 yards with bead sight.

    For what it’s worth, here my 50 yard group, no glue, through a rifled barrel.
