Reloading shotgun slugs

7207 Views 32 Replies 7 Participants Last post by  thumbs
I have a deerslayerll that has been in the cabinet for years. All of my deer hunting is done with black powder. Anyway

I want get out the ole deer slayer and use it but the slugs are so expensive it's prohibitive. The "shotgun" has a rifled barrel. Is it practical to reload slugs for this gun? I have been lookin around a bit and see that Lee makes a slug mold where the slug can be loaded in a AA hull. I have a Lee shotgun press that I have used for shot for years. Anyway can someone help me with this problem?

thanks for the help

As much as I like just about everything from Lee Precision, the 525 grain Lyman Slug/mold seems to work real good.
A good site is Ballistic Products http://www.ballisticproducts.com/ I beleve you can load a .500" caliber bullet in a wad to shoot out of a rifled barrel. This is an area I'm just learning about as well.
