Re: What am I missing?

I am no expert ! I think I would try a little more heat or add a little tin OR both!
I put my mold on a gas stove or a hot plate for a little while. Putting it on the pot took forever and so long to bring the mold up to temperature... like twenty times with rejects to get it hot.

Re: Powder Coating Question

Well the used slug mold I ordered was a scam, refund courtesy of PayPal! It was not from a mold maker rather an individual. So am looking for a mold that I want. Cases will arrive this week for fire forming. Will update as progress happens,

Powder Coating Question

Howdy All, Who make the best powder coating powder?? I am planning on shooting some full bore slugs in my 410. I was reading that someone was powder coating the slugs to eliminate any leading.

Re: Why didn’t you tell me how much fun this is??

I believe the MEC has a single stage press that if ordered for 410 3" shell, they sell a spacer that fits into it to load 2 1/2" shells.

Re: 20ga slug loads

Have you tried a 20ga wad as a sabot?
After I get my 410 mold I will no doubt be following your journey but on a smaller scale. I will have to try cutting the hull method and the wad method to see what works best for the 410. It's a 1100 ,so smooth bore. Have you tried any loads in a smooth bore?

Will update when the mold arrives and I start casting and loading some! I found a used NOE two cavity mold, looks like the same configuration as your, for $70.00 including shipping. It will be my first brass mold!

Re: Trying some new pellets

Has anyone tried that slug in a smooth bore shot gun! I just ordered a 410 slug mold of that configuration and was wondering how it performed in a smooth bore. If so was also wondering what the stack was made of .
