Thanks man

Check out bubba rountree outdoors, Roger adkins, avid waterfowler, American arms channel, ok shotgun outdoors, and salt creek custom ammo all on here. Very good channels and I’m sure I’m leaving a few out but it’s 3am here lol.

Any 1 1/8 ounce load should work great.

Thanks again Tyler

@@larryking606 you’re welcome

Sure will.

Not bad but depends on barrel length... I did many experiments on 18.5 inch barrel it suffers from accuracy....At 25 meters it has good grouping but at 35 + meters not very good...But having support while shooting it can make it better...

​@@theshotgunscientistsis the test video up yet?

@@jamesyarbrough4777 we just posted one with zinc .690 balls if you’re interested

Nice

Thanks

I’d like some .780 round balls. May look into that.

How do you contact the makers of that English mold?

@@les3449 Contact Marty’s Arms he makes any size you want fine a decent price.

@@theshotgunscientists thanks, I just looked at his site. I can't justify that price.

@@les3449 That’s why I don’t have one myself lol I can’t afford it at the moment. What size pellet are you after I may be able to help. Custom molds are usually pretty pricey.

Good choice

@@theshotgunscientists my 7/8 oz lee slug mold broke as your 1oz one did after about 200+ castings. The screw in the core pin is shit

@@theshotgunscientists The mould was £40 here, plus pnp from Henry Krank

Thanks

We’re gonna load some up to shoot through our ultra slug soon

Mec crimp starter and gaep bn2

I wish I had one. Right now I’m using the Lyman 12 gauge sabot slugs for 12 gauge slugs and 16 gauge full bore. Also using the 20 gauge slugs for both 20 gauge and 24 gauge full bore. I don’t shoot a lot of slugs to be honest, mostly round balls and buckshot. I need practice with slugs as you’ll see in a video soon lol. I missed a 2 liter at 10 yards, josh missed both. Maybe the gun we were shooting just shoots high or something. We’ve never shot it with slugs before today.

@@theshotgunscientists the other svarog mold I have is the pellet slug that is speced the same as the Lyman. It's the one I broke my cherry on and like my girlfriend who did the same thing for me I've moved on. I thought it was great until I made and shot some Italians. Once you've had an Italian you don't go back. 5 of em make 1 hole at 50 yds and at 100 I've shot a 2.5"group.

@@sluggou812beotch That’s not bad at all

Thanks!

For what purpose? I have fiber, felt, and hard filler wads.

Mine are very hard cast and weigh a little less. Usually between 1.07 and 1.10 deepening on alloy. If you don’t use a shot cup they’re safe to fire through a full choke, which is .700 in 12 gauge. If it’s pure soft lead you can use thin claybuster wads and a full choke. If it’s a thin profile barrel and full choke, In a wad, that’s a no go.

Overshot cards, use a 1” square piece of paper towel under that wad as it’s for tapered hulls and will be a very poor fit in a fiocchi using longshot powder. I highly suggest mg42 wads.

@@theshotgunscientists thanks for the reply! I’d rather pick up some mg42s if they’ll work better,is that all I would put into the new fiocchi hulls? Powder; mg42, .690 ball and crimp? I’m gonna order some stuff on ballistic products tonight (again lol)

@@kealohascraps the .690 balls will not fit in mg42 wads, for those use the claybuster slug wad.

True

I used to do it that way when I couldn’t found my powder dipper or was just lazy. Now I keep track of my powder dipper.

I’ve never seen it locally

This is an old video man, I have no issues with that mold but I do keep my pot at 9 for just about everything. The .690 mold is the easiest mold to use.

@@theshotgunscientists right on it definitely is the easiest to cast the .690 love your videos man definitely taught me a thing or two keep up the good work

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a9CciJSdzaiXknk.html

There are no wads like the estate/federal target load wads available to reloaders. They use that wad because, depending on payload, powder charge, and hull, they can roll the stem to the proper length to get a good crimp. It’s so they do have to use multiple different wads for their different loads. If you’re loading 1 1/8 ounce loads in a tapered hull like AA, STS, super target, or gun club hulls you’ll need a wad like the claybuster cb0118-12. If loading straight wall hulls like federal, super x, fiocchi, Cheddite, rio, and many others, you’ll need the cb6118-12 wad. They make wads for heavier loads too which are available from ballistic products. The only video I have on Lee slugs is for 16 gauge but I do have them and I do shoot them. I load them at 2000 fps with longshot. I might do a video on that.

Thanks for sharing

I use the hulls interchangeably, but I can’t tell you that they are 100% interchangeable because they aren’t technically. 2.75”.

@@theshotgunscientists ok so it is a 2.75

And what is the pressure? ​@@theshotgunscientists

I was going off powder charges for a given payload weight. Solid projectiles like round balls and slugs produce less pressure then birdshot does. Same with buckshot, it also produces less pressure than an equal weight of birdshot.

@@theshotgunscientists Thank you, I just learned something about pressure.

These do better with fold crimps, the .690 round ball weighs about 1 1/8 ounces so find a powder charge for a 1 1/8 ounce load using the component you have and let them fly lol

I just got a bottle

@@theshotgunscientists waiting for the video. Seems like that's the only type of powder around here.

Thanks man

Yep. Lead weight is lead weight. Birdshot produces slightly higher pressure than buckshot or slugs or roundballs though, more bore scrub/surface area. Nothing to worry about though.

From what I’ve seen which is basically 40 yards in there’s no difference. Round balls should by physics be more accurate though.

Thanks, Tyler . . . you make good video!

Probably

A seller on eBay sells a .410 kit for the Lee load all.

@@theshotgunscientists Ok thanks, I'll check there. Much appreciated.

Add 12ga nitro cards under the wad

@@theshotgunscientists thank you very much you saved me a lot of trouble!

Nope I have too many fast burning powders and haven’t bought any of that powder

Thanks

This was an old video, I just couldn’t find my powder dipped. That’s not how I normally load my shells, I was just lazy and didn’t bother looking for the dipper. I wash my hands 10 thousand times a day as well because I handle lead a lot, no powder was harmed in the making of this video lol.

Yes

@@theshotgunscientists can you tell me the weight on those? Is it light enough for a multi-ball round?

@@Kinetic.44 11/16 of an ounce so yes.

@@theshotgunscientists 2.625 oz for a full bore tripple ball round... should be safe in a 3.5" right?

@@Kinetic.44 maybe. Not sure if I’d want to send 3 hunks of zinc down a barrel though lol it’s really hard stuff. More like steel than lead.

Yeah we shoot them all the time check out other videos. We use that slug in 10 and 16 gauge too.

It would work in a full choke but too small for anything else. You need a .778 round ball for 10 gauge, you need it slightly over bore size if you have a cylinder bore. To fit in a shot cup, you need a .720 ball.

@@theshotgunscientists hmm maybe Marty’s molds could make up a .778 in the future. Not much options for slugs in 10 gauge

@@richyrich0257 A .780 would work too, lots of mold companies will make you one if you need it.

Yes the ball is .690 and standard 12 gauge full choke is .700 to .695. You can shoot foster slugs through a full choke too.

​@@theshotgunscientists Wouldn't the petals on the wad bring the diameter up a bit?

@@Varmint.357 yeah but it’s soft thin plastic but you’re better off just using a mod or IM choke than full. But if you have too, it’s fine.

I don’t understand man sorry

I load double .690 balls in 10 gauge, and 3 ounce 16 pellet 0000 buck. I’ve got videos on both. Good stuff.

Thanks for the sub!

My hands were clean, which is why I took no issue with getting the powder charge that way. That’s definitely not how I normally load shells. If you watch my other videos, I do use a powder scoop. Paper towels have never given me an issue. When folded and compressed, they work exactly the same as fiber wadding. They also make great over shot material. I don’t use them for over powder cards, strictly as filler. I have nitro cards in several gauges, and use them fairly often. I don’t shoot enough round balls to spend the money on the mold chad makes. Great molds yes, but I can cast 25 in no time with the cheap Lee mold. Like I said, I don’t shoot enough to need such a high volume of the round balls. The end result is the same anyway, a .690 ball. I tumble all of my lead shot no matter the size of the pellet, I just didn’t bother for this video in order to keep things simple, not everyone has a tumbler. I don’t personally like mec presses all that much, I’ve used them in a few gauges. No where near as versatile as the Lee load all. I like the crimps better with the Lee press too. I can fold crimp every shell from 10 gauge down to 32 gauge and 2.5” to 3.5” with 1 Lee load all press. Going to a mec would be greatly counterproductive for what I do. I would need 6 different presses, and have to find a new way load my 24 and 32 gauge hulls. I don’t load at high volume, 95% of my hand loads are buckshot, and usually just a few at a time.

I switched to the 7/8 ounce Lee slug, I like it better. I still haven’t fixed my 1 ounce slug mold yet lol. Maybe I should.

@@theshotgunscientists I have like six of the dang 7/8oz molds in different conditions from perfect to "just about ready to become parts." I've sold the slugs for three years, and they're very popular. The 1oz has a bad rep (deserved) from a couple of dooming KZfaq videos showing them curve in flight. I really enjoy your videos. You "ain't skeered" of recoil and you both are great shots. I'd love to send you boys a sample pack of my stuff for free. It would be cool to seeing it tested. I have #4B, .31, .33, .35, .36, .495, .535, .562, .575, .60 and .69 calibers. In addition to the Lee Drive Key slugs, I make Svarog Zveroboy (with Guilandi Green Brush Wad attached) and Lyman 12ga Diabolo. I also make Lyman 10ga Foster slugs. Let me know and I'll send you a free package that will make your mail carrier want a raise. Warning! Once you shoot my .69cal balls, you will be spoiled!
