Hey Guys. After reading lots on here, went and ordered a Lee Load All 2 and a 1oz Lee slug mold. Used some #8 shot to make about 300 1oz slugs.
Loaded them up in 5 different ways and took them to the range today.
Used my 870 Police with an 18.5 barrel, Imp Cylinder choke and ghost ring sights.
All 5 shot groups at 25 meters. Im in Canada eh.
#1 Winchester target loads 1 1/8oz of shot, 2 3/4 Dram with the top cut off and Slug inserted.

All the wads are missing a pedal??
#2 Winchester target loads 1 1/8oz of shot, 3 Dram with top cut off and Slug inserted.
1st 11 ½ stopped shooting these because the recoil was stupid. My shoulder was already sore from shooting yesterday. I know I am a wussy. I will try this again next week.
#3 Once fired Winchester Target hulls, 17.4g Green Dot, Cheddite 209, WAA12SL wads, Lee 1oz Slug.

All the wads are Okay, no sign of damage.
#4 Once fired Winchester Target hulls, 17.4g Green Dot, Cheddite 209, Federal 12S3 Wads, Lee 1oz Slug.

Only 2 wads found, and the pedals are bent right backwards, the wads must be sticking to the slugs.
#5 Once fired AA hulls, 17.4g Green Dot, Cheddite 209, Federal 12S3 wads, Lee 1oz Slug.

No wads found, must be sticking to the slug?
I am going to order the 16g nitro cards for under the slug and cut the pedals down with my next batch. Going get a Crony too.
Thanks for all your help
