I noted the setting for ranges out to 500 yds. with each of the eight bullets I reload. Tack driver it is not but a locomotive stopper it is. I...

Would shooting a DA by cocking the hammer be the same? I don't have a SA but most of my shooting revolvers is by cocking the hammer then work the trigger.

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.

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?
