    Which is easier to cast, the 7/8 Oz Lee Key Drive Slug or these .690 round balls?

    • @12galife
      @12galife 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I prefer the .690RB over the key drive slug. The floating core wears out fast at least it did on mine. No need to worry about that with the .690RB. and yes it's easier. Thanks for watching and have a great day.

    I've been loading 690 ball for a few years now per Ballistic Products data with Herco. Got an auction coming up with a couple rifled slug guns I'm trying for, your vidio convinced me to try for them. In a smoothbore the 690 has been shearing the petals off in some vidios, has your Federal wad loads had any signs of shearing the petals? I don't hunt, just like experimenting for fun.

My Next question Can the three Powders, Bullseye, Red-dot & Unique be used to reload short 12 Ga, 00 Pellets & Next what shotgun re-loader's manual would you recommend, for 12 Ga, 00 Pellets Any & All help would be Greatly Appreciated Thank you Chris.

    • @12galife
      @12galife ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for watching. I cut my short shells down to two inches and use a roll crimp. I have never tried a fold crimp on a short shell so I can't really answer that. For your powders i have only used Unique for slugs. And For load data books get as many as you can find. Lymans 5th, Ballistic products, and one of my go to books is called The Complete Reloading Manual for the 12 Gauge Shotshell. Its a little blue book with data from powder manufactures, RCBS and Lyman. Found mine at Cabalas for a good price. Also lots of free data online. If your new to reloading please use caution and always follow published load data for your safety. Please check out Buck and Slug Reloaders on FB its a great group to learn from. Have a great day.

    Are Martys buckshot molds better than lees precision buckshot molds?

    • @12galife
      @12galife ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for watching. Both molds have their pros and cons. With the Marty's mold I get a better fill out and better quality pellets but have more sprue material and the mold has short handles. With the Lee I can make more faster but don't get 100% fill out on every pour and way less sprue material. On the Marty's removing the pellet from the sprue you need a good pair of clippers on the Lee you remove the sprue with the sprue plate on the mold and separate the pellets with a razor blade. Lees are a bit cheaper than Marty's but both mold are a lot of work to make buck. If I had to choose I would pick Marty's for the better pellets
