You are right Mr. Guthrie. The smoking method is not enough to prep the mold. I used CRC Dry Graphite spray. I found the BPR-12 double ended wad with no pedals a heavier version of the Super Short green wad. I put the X12X, or BPGS under that or the plex seal. To gain my height or the orbatrator in straight wall hulls. I've been trying some different powders In the velocity range 1310 - 1390 Green dot, Winchester WSF, HS6 And using the 1 1/8 oz payload weight data for Remington Nitro, or Winchester hulls, and Fiocchi hulls. I learn a lot from You, Wade Rush at Bubba round tree, and Jeff at Taofledermaus channels Thank you for the good content. I'm in the process of modification of my botfly mold to make it a solid with a hollow skirt bottom . To make it easier to pour, With no pin. Trying to keep it in the oz. 1 1/8 - 1 1/4 range.
Great video Leon! do you have experience with the lee 7/8 0z drive key slug ? I've been experimenting with it with a rifle barrel at 50 yards it works OK, At 100 yards it hits point of aim occasionally, but more often than not, it is way off. very inconsistent at 100 yards? any ideas whats going on??
Hey brother, thanks for replying! I did a video on the range testing of the Botfly. I can’t recall off the top of my head (out of town), but if you watch that video, I used Steel, Longshot, and Blue Dot.

You're helping many and I thank you for that.
You are an artist
I had to dress the edges of the fins on the center pin of my Zveroboy mold with a fine file. It made a huge difference in ease of release
Mate trying to get these in the UK is a nightmare
awesome video Leon!!!! time to clean the garage though...
I did! 😞😂
How you cast your slugs so shiny? I use pure lead for my slugs and they are kinda dull grey
What is the diameter of the cast slug

Beautiful. Any luck for smoothbore?
Vanilla Gorilla yup. Plumbata style slugs shoot great in both rifled and smooth.
How much powder are you using with this slug?

@@buckandslugreloaders9005 thank you for the reply sir!
Do you use Vaseline in the roll crimp tool?
Mike Seigel I did not, but a little wont hurt.
You know if those Russians would make a segmented mold for the 45 Colt I would be more than happy to try it.
I know they came out with a whole line of different .30 cal molds. I can check.
Leon... how do you only have 259 subscribers?
Vanilla Gorilla brother, I don’t promote it like most. Slug Reloading is a small niche. Strange, since I got almost 3,000 members on my Facebook page
@@buckandslugreloaders9005 im one of them
I asked too soon... sorry
He lives!!!!!
Fractured Hearts powder jug was empty, brother.
Good..
Lol. Ain’t my first dance. 😉
I thought not but some of the reloading videos I have seen scared me.. Some of the shooting videos too.
