ruclips.net/video/OsOWMu3dFgw/видео.html There’s several of these shot on this video linked here. I will do a better job in the near future posting the loads organized individually. Thanks for watching.
Either I was in a hurry to load them so they would cool quicker or I just wanted to test accuracy on this bunch water dropping as well. Thanks for watching.
Pure lead or close too, within about 2% can not be significantly water hardened. A temporary and short gain to 6-7 bhn before softening back to 5-6 bhn. A few % of antimony is required. Tin also works but to a much lesser degree. Mixing tin and antimony will give you the ability to cast really hard bullets in 20+ bhn. I've found with my lyman foster mold that I can cast slugs up to 12 bhn, and they still blow out to fill the bore. Never tried anything harder. These are my results and yours may vary.
22grs If I recall but refer to your own load data for whatever wad column and your own unique setup. The BPI slug manual and Lyman 12ga manual are critical. BPI publishes free load data sometimes on their website
It's only worth it if you use homemade buckshot, and use a powder that requires less grains. My favorite load is Federal Top-Gun Hull reprimed with Cheddite 2000, 27grains of Longshot, BRP-12 Wad, 16 pellets of homemade .30cal #1 buck stacked by 4's, and a bingo chip on top with a roll crimp. Very budget friendly. They cost right around $.55 a round, which is right around the same price for subpar 9 pellet 00Buck. You can also load this exact configuration with 27pellets of 24cal #4 buck stacked 7-7-7-6. Both amazing.
Keep your cell phones away from your scales including walkie talkies and tablets and computers and wifi .they will cause interference with the load cell in the scale
do we call and mistake a slug-loaded shotgun an elephant gun/express rifle?
Reloading black powder shotgun shells with To light up the night sky
Do you have a load manual with Cheddite data with various components.wondering if the new Lyman has the data?
I like the BPI ballistic products intl manuals, they are pretty comprehensive and include several cheddite loads.
Cool video!
Thanks for watching
You have several pt. 1s but I haven't seen any pt. 2s yet. 😀

I've never used 700x . I'm curious how it works for you .
Bit more felt recoil but seems to work rather well
With the mold, could you make these out of brass.
Maybe, but keep in mind the almost double melting point of brass over lead
You can make it from whatever you want, just mind the weight difference and the hardness
@@shaunstayfree5551mate how much powder pershell use 1oz slug ???
@@hecker2104 about 15-16 grains, lee has some data for their moulds too
I see you used pure lead to cast your slugs. But then why would you water drop them to make them harder?
Shotgun slugs should be soft pure lead.

How many grains of 700-x did you use?

Thank you! I appreciate it 🍻
2gr black powder???
@@ashkanaz6598 maybe, start low and work up
in 2024 with the costs that have gone up making a 3" OO 1450FPS cartridge even worth it? i can buy them for .90 cents each
Not really. But its a good hobby and gives greater access to ammo for future supply issues
Minus hull price on 3 -3.5. Reloading buck and slug will always be more value imo
