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.

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. Soooo was wondering what the opinions are here about that! Also I read that a full bore slug fits the dimen...

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?
