12 slug load

Post by allthegearandnoidea » 21 Jul 2017, 6:13 pm

Gday all
Ive finally got the gear from slugs r us ...
Slug mould 490 g hammerhead
Integral sabot wads x100
Lee lead pot and reloading press
Etc
Now all I need is powder
The slugsrus site lists blue dot on their load data but was wondering if ADI AS50n or AS70SNwould do
Im loading 3" 12g shells
Any advice appreciated
Btw adi site only seems to have load data for 2 3/4" shells
Cheers
Steve

For 1 oz Lee slug I'm using 20 grains of AS50n.

Let me double check my data and I will post it later.

I'm only using 2 3/4" shells

Yep, I settled on
20gr AS50n
1 oz Lee slug
Winchester AA 32gram wad
1 card was under the slug.

Note, slug height is critical for a good crimp.

What's the difference?

Edit: I started a new topic so I wasn't high-jacking this one - Shotgun shell crimp styles and differences

Ignore here, sorry.
