Where do you buy wads for Lee slugs

[yomomma]

What type of wad do you guys use for lee slugs?
What type of shells?
And where do you buy these on-line, not interested in driving.

Thanks

Wad depends on powder.
If I'm using a bulky magnum powder for max velocity (Bluedot, Longshot) I use WAA12R's or the Claybuster equivalent. They allow for more room for powder in the hull.
If I'm loading moderate recoil slugs I use WT12 or the Claybuster equivalent. They fill more of the case when using less powder or a less bulky powder (Unique, 800X).
I buy my wads locally so I'm no help in ordering online. Both seem fairly common though.
Both can be ordered through Bilozir from Ballistic Products but that can take a while.

For hulls I picked up a few hundred Federal 00 buck hulls when the police were out training one day. Remington high brass are pretty much identical in terms of internal dimensions. Winchester high brass have thicker base wads so have less internal volume.

I always put a 20ga .125" card wad under the slug inside the cup. I found I had a lot of flyers and pinched off pedals from the wads. Doing this really helped with accuracy. I order those from Track of the Wolf in the US.

I really like the Claybusters WAA12R equivalent. Easily found at places around Hamilton. I use Remington Hi brass. Don't waste your time with target low brass discount hulls

I just followed the destructions that came with the mold, as far as components go. Budget Shooter should have what you're after

Really??? you drive everywhere for your lead scores. Hummanson's? it is 15 mins away. Lawry (Caledonia) is only a couple more??? You are allmost in the center of the Meca of Canadian Shot shell reloading components.

Yah, your detective skills suck.

Caledonia is 45 min away and Hummanson over an hour.....but hey, thanks for helping out.

You are still closer than the rest of us. Hummanson's does shipping. I would assume Lawry's does also.

Look at the sponser's, find what you want and pick up the phone. Simple enough?

My local WSS had bags and bags of WAA12SL wads and some AAlite powder and win 209 primers. I still need to buy the 20 ga fillers but the slug/was combo is a good snug fit in the hull without bulging. I shot 2 last fall with the 12 gr light load of AAlite powder and they were like a Rem managed recoil slug out of my 8.5" grizzly but with more muzzle flash. A longer barrel would give a much better idea of felt recoil undoubtedly with less or no flash.

Check out Ballistic Products and find what you want.

Do a search on "Ballistic Product Canada" and you will get Canadian distributor info.

Just got some 12g sabots and new primed hulls from him. He ship Canadapost. My winter project is to work up some 12g sabot slugs using 50cal muzzle loader bullets.

Bilozir.net and he attends a lot of gun shows too.
