Reloading Data for Doug's Slug This set of data is from a few years ago when I acquired some slugs from a website called Doug's Slugs. The last time I checked he seemed to be out of business. His website is still up buy all attempt to correspond go unanswered. I figured I would publish the data here anyway since it might be useful even though those particular slugs are no longer available. I never did get the accuracy very good the slugs were 0.375in in diameter and thus produce horrible groups. I tried several things to help improve the accuracy but never got something good before I ran out of the slugs. The slug construction was the powder charge with a nitro over-powder card on top of that. A small amount of shot buffer to fill the case then another over-powder wad on top of the shot buffer and finally the slug and a roll crimp. The slug had a weight of 116.9gr. |
