GrandLotus 0 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gunfun 3,931 Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
