A few fast Questions on reloading 12 gauge.


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I am an experienced reloader but am new to reloading 12 guage. I have a dillion at home and absolutly love the money I save on shooting.

Since the 12 gauge is expensive to shoot, I am looking into alternative ways to make slugs for my Saiga 12.

1) Whats the best way to reload slugs?

2) Where can I get some mold sets for slugs or 00-000-0000buck shot?

3) I heard you can melt down birdshot and use this for the molds; true or false?

4) Any other info/links?

Thanks.

melting birdshot is a waste of birdshot though, pure lead is desired for slugs and can be had more cheaply than birdshot.

 

Also, Even with a lee load all, I can reload from scratch more quickly than I was able to open up birshot and dump it out and put a slug in.

 

A good source for the lee molds is titan reloading. The lyman 525 is pretty pricey. I've tried to get one on ebay a few times, but they usually sell for over $75
