Are these the ultimate shotgun slugs for reloading?

[saskcop]

Has anyone seen these or better yet reloaded them? They look nasty!

Is there any of our dealers on this forum that could bring these suckers in?

They do look nasty... and I would NOT recommend putting them through anything but a cylinder bore!

It looks like the shotgun equivalent of the WFN style bullets that are commonly used for handgun hunting. I like the fact that it is a non-expanding design- a projectile of that size already is expanded. Foster slugs expand on impact and this can significantly limit their penetration.

I'd like to see the back as well. How are they stabilized in flight?

I loaded these once for my M37 Ithaca Deerslayer, with a 20 inch rifled factory barrel in 20 gauge.
They shot very well @50 yards IIRC.
But they kicked like a M*F*! Bought the slip on Limbsaver a few days afterwards.
Me thinks I'll have to load some up, someday real soon.

If I was still living in the Moose Jaw area, this shotgun would be well worn out.

If somebody could bring those in it would probably cost a small fortune in shipping. But they sure do look like fun. It would be almost impossible to resist trying them out.

I have the same mold... 25 grains of Herco gives these suckers a good kick.

Those Heavyweights are avail. from M.T. Chambers and/or WSS in S'Toon.

I think I used Blue Dot, but my memory is vague on the details.

cheers.............

Looks like a giant air gun pellet!

They must penetrate like nothing else around. They're actually CNC machined.....I wonder how many of them you, as the machine operator, have to make before you lose your mind completely ? 10,000 1,000,000 ? You've got to have a special kind of brain that you can just shut off in order to do that job all day.

an operator doesn't make them, the machine does. with the right outfit the cnc could load, turn, drop, repeat for a very long time wile the "operator" was out shooting all day.

why anyone would need a solid brass slug with 2 tens accuracy is unknown to me.
