[QUOTE="Master Carper, post: 3654011, member: 15527"] I just finished my fourth round of casting, and I must say that I am quite impressed with the way these slugs are turning out. Depending on which "pin" is used, slugs can be cast in various weights: 1 oz. 1 1/6 oz. 1 3/16 oz. 1 1/4 oz. Accuracy has also been quite impressive! I have had to borrow several shotguns, just to have a wider base of guns for accuracy testing, with the following results - All guns were shot at 50 yards, and 2 were shot at 100 yards. 3-shot groups. Remington 870 with cantilever slug barrel: 1 1/2" group @ 50 yards. Ithaca M37 Deer Slayer: 1" group @ 50 yards. Remington 1100 with a 26" improved cylinder barrel: 2" group @ 50 yards. Benelli Super Nova with 28" barrel and improved cylinder choke tube: 1 7/8" group @ 50 yards. Remington 870 with a 30" barrel and improved cylinder choke tube: 1 3/4" @ 50 yards. Stoeger Stagecoach: 4" @ 50 yards. Ithaca M37 Deer Slayer: 2 3/4" @ 100 yards. Velocity of loads are: 1,000 fps.. 1,200 fps.. 1,400 fps.. 1,600 fps..

Powders that I load are: Red Dot Herco Longshot Blue Dot So far, the only primer I have used is the Winchester 209. Other primers will be tested, but most likely after deer season closes. [/QUOTE]
