moderate load data for Lee slugs???

[JIMinPHX]

I've been fooling around with these things a little more & after making some adjustments to my Lee Loader style tool, I am now getting pretty good looking folded crimps using the Winchester Universal hulls & pink wads. You can see a picture of them here - http://castboolits.gunloads.com/show...613#post958613


I've also been fooling around with roll crimping a little. I'd prefer to use roll crimps because it makes it easy to identify the slug loads. Unfortunately, my roll crimps still need a little work. You can see them here -

In the process of trying to make better roll crimps, I've been cutting down my hulls & my wads. In order to do a good consistent job of that, I made up some little aluminum plugs to use as cutting guides. The pictures are below. They seem to work pretty well.

After all that fooling around with roll crimps because the fold crimps would not stay closed for me, I now find out that if I change from pink wads to white wads, the fold crimps work fine. I still trimmed the white wads the same as I did with the pink ones.

There is a place for both roll/fold crimps. I like the plug gauge idea.

Does anyone have any success loading down 20 gauge slugs in a similar manner? I've got Red Dot, Blue Dot, 700x, Unique, HS6, 4227, 2400, Clays, and probably some other shotgun powders downstairs. Looking at trying the Lyman monster pellet with white Winchester AA wads in AA hulls as well as the Cheddite hulls and slugsrus sabots with 250 gr .44 caliber boolit, 310 gr. total projectile weight.
