Another shotgun reload question

[T Rex]

Is it possible to buy shotgun slugs for reloading or must you cast them yourself?

[KK20]

how many do you want?

[T Rex]

Well I am looking at reloading for shotgun use so will need a continuos supply but 100 would be a good start? for 12 gauge 1 oz

Which type of slug are we talking about KK?

[KK20]

lee and lyman 1 oz

[corriedewilde]

Is this the cup type(the name escape me now) as opposed to the solid (not hollow) Brenke slugs?

The brenkes are 500gr, 1 once (437gr) is good.

Hi KK you obviously in the know I have read conficting reports with regard to the poor accuracy of the LEE slugs have you experianced this yourself and do you have any "workarrounds" to provide better accuracy?

Also out of the lyman and Lee which would you consider better and at what?

[KK20]

the lee key driver slugs are actually sabots ie and work very well throgh my PA and semi.
the lyman that i chose is the one with microband that work extremely well but is more tedious to reload. i use roll crimp for the lyman.
i got fairly good accuracy out to 90 m and would have felt confident to use that for hunting.
the lee is more accurate and consistant and i regret not buying the light mould as well as the lighter slug apparently can be driven faster and is tighter grouping.

my offer was on a goodwill gesture of a few - i am not into selling etc so i can't offer you that quantity. its time consuming to cast and QC the alloy and the finished product etc and i just cant find the time anymore.

Thanks KK appretiate your feedback!! Dont worry about supplying me with any I have decided to mould my own as I reload many specs so I know the melter/molds wont go to waist and am looking forward to the new challenge!! Thanks to all for all the feedback this is a great site to learn especially when you are a newby at certain things!
