I seen this website, www.slugsrus.com. Would it be worth the time to try to load your own slugs?

My only use for slugs would be in a 20ga, as an opportunist shot at a hog while squirrel and /or rabbit hunting with my Savage .22rf/20ga.
I have a Lee .575 min'ie mold, 430gr, just cut the crimp off a 1oz field load, dump the shot, drop the slug in the sleeve, make a card wad and use a partial star crimp.
Does it on the cheap. 1300fps.

I recently purchased about 50 lyman 12ga slugs from a fellow member, these are the ones that look like a giant air gun pellet, They weigh 525grs. I am not set up to reload yet but was wondering, even before I read your post, if I could do this with some 12ga shells. I have some Winchester, Federal, and Activ shells left over from when I had my S&W pump 12ga, now that I have a slug gun I have no use for them. The main thing I'm worried about is pressure since all the old shells I have are 1oz loads and the slug is 525grs. I will be shooting them out of a H&R 12ga Ultra Slug gun which is built on a 10ga receiver, this gun is massive but I don't want to take any chances.

Don't do it.
I don't know where some of these guys get there ideas from but if you want to live & keep ll your body parts don't do what these guys are.
They have reloading data for slugs.

This is the most dangerous thing I have ever seen posted on this site!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They have data for these slugs & what you are doing is death waiting to happen.
A load of shot can compress a slug will not.
You are getting barrel pressures that you have no idea what are.
