Cheap slugs for paper punching?

[Kagey]

Hey folks,

The 12ga slugs at wally world are about $1.30 / per slug. Is there a source for cheaper target slugs (for smooth bore), or do I have to get into reloading?

Thanks!

I bought a slug mold and am getting some one to cast them for me and am just figuring the reload of them. Haven't figured out the pricing yet, but at least 1/2 of retail.

The Army Navy store in Halifax sold bulk packs of these:

White one, second from the left in the picture...

Sporting Slugs 25 for $19.99

They shot straight but every other one jammed my Mossberg 590 as the extractor tore chunks right out of the case rim leaving it unextracted.

that sound like a heck of a deal...

if your Mossberg's dual extractors are ripping the rims off your shells, you may want to have a look at your chamber - perhaps it could do with some polishing.

I figured out my costs and reloading slugs with range hulls is $45 for 100

$5 for primers
$2 for wads
$8 for powder
$30 for slugs

Where do you get your slugs from, casting or store bought?
If you bought them, from who?

Not to thread jack but I've asked for help with this before...

It's a 590 Mariner (electro nickle plated joby)

These won't extract and cheapo Winchester Skeet and Range won't extract...

Whats the issue?

remove the barrel and clean it.
take a small flashlight, and look/feel inside the chamber to check if it is smooth.
smooth = good, rough = bad

this is how it should NOT look (my $300 Dlask barrel):

CTire sells "Value Pack" winchester slugs of 15 for $13-15 around here.

Wow, for a $300 Dlask barrel, you'd think it'd be nice n shiny?

Here's my way of getting cheap slug practice.
