Default RE: making bullets

ORIGINAL: QTompkins2005

Well, the reason I was asking is because I am planning to buy a muzzleloading shotgun, and would like to shoot rifled slugs. I have been t old they make molds for them, but I have n ever seen them for sale anywhere.
LEE Molds might make them. I know they make molds for slugs. Whether they would work in a muzzleloading shotgun I have no idea.

In my smoothbore I shoot a ball. A .62 caliber (20 gauge)ball is 324 grains. If you're getting a 12 gauge shotgun which I think is around a 75 caliber, you will be shooting a much larger ball then I would be. Guessing, somewhere in the 500 grain range. Would a slug be bigger then that?

Keep us posted what you're up to. It sounds interesting...
