I've also been thinking about loading shotgun shot and slug loads. In reading the Lyman manual, I found that Lyman makes a slug meant to be held in place with a standard fold crimp rather than a roll crimp. |

Good info Vince . I want to do sabots for rifled barrels.. Did you get the shell station from slugsrus also ? when watching their vid I didn't no if it was a must have tool with that stabilizer or not.. I don't shoot a lot of slugs but more and more areas around me are slug/muzzle loader only ( No rifles ) and the price for sabots are ridiculous I could also load for a couple buddy's... |

...With never doing it I would assume that when the roll crimp hits the slug or if using a over shot card you can feel the resistance and no to stop ? is that accurate Vince ? |

Pretty much mate, but I generally roll a bit and have a look, then roll a bit more if needed. Expect to trash a couple of hulls until you get it down to a fine art mate, which is why I use buggered hulls to practice on to start off, rather than trash good hulls. When I say trash a hull, I mean you can actually melt the plastic of the hull if you get a bit heavy handed. |
