If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7.

Thanks for joining us from the administration.

anyone loading slugs?? i have a handi rifle and have developed a bad twich because of the recoil of hot slug loads. i have loaded some slugs with the standard skeet load of 18 gr. red dot with a 1 oz slug. the rifled slug blr. has been giving fairly good accuracy not great but i dont really know what to expect. i know it is not going to put them into an inch at 100 yards. but i do think i should be about to do better than 4 to 5 inches. hope i can find someone who has plowed this ground and can save me some time and powder. joe gifford

You might czech this site out and see if there is anything you can use. I got some of their RSS-12 sabots and in the load I tried it blew a hole through both gas checks and the sabot that was equal to the .50 cal bullet I was using. It was a hot load though. could not hit my target at 100 yds.
