I contacted Lee Precision to ask if they had plans to release an 18-cavity mold for #1 buckshot. Got a reply from them today that yes they are, should become available in 6 weeks, product #92068.

Good news! Now if they would just make some in #3 for us 20 gauge shooters.
That would be cool. I think I've got a .319", and I've got a 2 buck mold from Sharpshooter. I don't think I have a .300" buckshot mold.
They already have a 18 cav #4 buck mold. That works great in both 12 and 20 I think. YMMVOriginally Posted by Nobade
These men and their hypnotized followers call this a new order. It is not new. It is not order.
I have a slingshot ammo mold that is pretty close to #3 for 20 ga. About halfway between #3 and #4.
I have not patterned it yet, last couple summers have been hot and hectic.
I truly believe we need to get back to basics.
Get right with the Lord.
Get back to the land.
Get back to thinking like our forefathers thought.
May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you
and give you His peace. Let all of the earth – all of His creation – worship and praise His name! Make His
praise glorious!
I think that you can get at least 10 number 1 buck in a standard 20 ga shell. Should be a good load.
WTH!!!!”
I load 9, seldom 12, I’m recoil sensitive, in a 12 ga. How in the Sam Hill does one fit 10 in a 20 ga hull?
It shouldn't be that hard. 10 pellets of 1 buck is pretty much a standard 7/8oz load.
Do the math for stacking .29-.30" diameter lead balls in a 20 ga shell.
There's a lot of good to be had using the Lee .310 6 cavity mold. And you don't have to clip anything
I didn’t know they had a 6-cav .31” mold!
I’ll have to check it out!
I’ve been using a .31” 2-cav for about 30yrs!
It loads GREAT 20ga loads!
I use a 1oz wad, 17gr of LongShot, cheap hulls (win or fed)
I’ve killed deer and pigs with them from my CZ/Turkish made S/S.

I think Track of the Wolf has them, so does MP Molds if you want 8 cavity
What kind of patterns were you going for with your "Slingshot." I figure it should do about 6" at 10 yards which would be a good load for the house as you wouldn't have to worry about over penetration or shooting thru walls or stuff like that.
I use 3/8" and 1/2" Ball Bearings in mine.

TOTW exclusive. I’ll wait and see if Lee does make a .31” gang mold.
$61.95 is a tad steep. No more than I cast/load…
The Lee #1 Buckshot mold is now for sale on their website.
Give it a few days, it should be at Titan Reloading for way cheaper soon.
On the Lee site, they list a 6 cavity .490 round ball mold for $65.00.
Not sure I’d a smaller ball will change the price.

Knowledge I take to my grave is wasted.
I prefer to use cartridges born before I was.
Success doesn't make me happy, being happy is what allows me to be successful.
