Reloading 12 gauge slug information

[BrianS]

I brought a Lee Load-All 2 press (was £19.95 back then but I think they're still inexpensive) it came as standard to load 12gauge.

Cost each. Geeze , at a rough guess, 25/30 pence each. The only extras I need are the powder and primers because I've 'collected' all the lead and hulls/cases I will probably ever need.

Good luck
Brian

I paid £23 for the roll crimper. Cordless drill is in my garage!

[xx.Morph.xx]

Lee 1oz Slug Mould about £20 (you can go for Lee 7/8oz mould, round ball, or 2 types of Lyman slug mould)
2nd hand Lee Loadall 2 £30
Stainless ladle from Wilkinsons £2.50
Couple of Stanless Balti dishes to melt the lead in £4.00
Lee ingot mould £10.00 or you can just use a brick with an indent in it (I prefer to cast ingots as I've already fluxed most of the crud out of the lead then)
Camping stove, already in the garage
2nd Hand Roll crimp £15 (but lee slugs can be star crimped with the loadall 2)

Wads,hulls, frangible disks (if reqd),primers & Powder at whatever price you can get them for (can re use hulls from your own stash or from your local clay ground)

You may find you already have some old stuff knocking about you can use.

1.80g is not low, still burns clean with 1.60g in fact. Probably less but I didn't bother trying.
