Recent Slug Shooting

[mingaa]

50 yds off hand Mossberg 930
2 3/4" Lee 10z. reloads
18.5 gr Alliant e3



The two (home made) shot cards raise the slug up for a better crimp AND help it separate from the wad. (phone pic - do not adjust your screen!!)


Yeah, I clean up ocassionally - loading slugs...

I've hung all manner of 'shite' on this gun and am back to KISS. It does a lot of things pretty well and with the ports defeated I can avoid being classed in Open for 3-Gun!

Nice shootin' mingaa!

Love the Lee 1oz.

What and how did you make the shot cards from?

Nicely done Sir.

Looks like that target is definitely dead...

At less than .25 a round I'm practicing a lot more with slugs. I also set up 6 targets - that was the best of them but all hits were on the 11 x 17 target ( center of scoring area for Idpa, IPSC, 3-Gun etc.).

I used to wince at running through 2 boxes of slugs in a few minutes now - not a problem.

I'm about to go to free on lead (labor and propane) as I have collected over 150 lbs of bullets from the dirt berms at the club. That's a lot of 00 shot - still need dead soft for slugs but just agreed to a swap with a roofer, my ingots for his scrap!!
