Thread: 12ga Slugs

Basically just picked open the star crimp, poured out the shot, used it to cast the slugs, trimmed off about 2/3 of the star crimp, used a socket to press the remaining flap back in (sort of like a budget roll crimp) then pushed the slug in - sits in there quite firmly, although have only used in a 870 pump action not sure if a semi would move them around.
Accuracy wise they were OK to about 50mtrs, good enough for fun on the range and alot cheaper than buying slugs (depending on how much you value your time at) all in all was fun and will do some more over winter I reckon

Hey Ben where did you get the Falcon Olympic 28 from?
