First try at slug loading
Well here is my first attempt at loading slugs. 525gr Lyman 12ga
AA Hull win 209 23gr Unique My crimps sucked. Still trying to learn how to setup proper crimping. Its ok, but have no idea where the change of POI came from. I think I can do better with proper seating and crimping. |
With slow moving projectiles such as slugs, the vertical POI can easily vary with integrity of the crimp....
Are you roll crimping? IMO crimp uniformity is a semi critical issue to slug shooting. |

And didn't have enough to get it dialed in. Can you adjust the cam way out and go back in over and over til you get it right? |
