data for the lyman 12ga slug?

[Ritchie]

Anyone know the dimentions of this slug? I'd like to know which wads this thing will fit into before I buy it.

I'm also looking at the LEE slug but LEE publishes their data where Lyman did not.

For example, is it a 1oz slug, a 1 1/8oz?

Opinions are welcome.

I have just finished loading 60 Lyman slugs.

The load data for Lyman and Lee are found in the Lyman Shotshell Reloading manual.

I started loading slugs to get a milder recoil, but found that the accuarcy wasn't there for my gun. My best load is as heavy recoiling as factory but very accurate.

E-mail me if you need help.

There is also load data included with the lyman mould, or mine came with some , it was one of the very first ones made.

Are you shooting these in a rifled barrel? My gun is Cylinder bore 20"

Smoothie, 20" w/rifle sights.
