Contemplating picking up a Lee Load-All and a Lee slug mold to do some shotgun reloading. I'm finally seeing components at a price where shotshell reloading seems to make sense again, so I am trying to figure out what I need to get started.
What I have:
lots of promo and red dot (used for pistol and cast rifle loading)
plenty of wheel weight lead (stick on and clip on separated)
casting equipment
Reloading tools for rifle & pistol
Various cheap shotshells (federal blue & red box from wallmart in 7 1/2)
Winchester grey box buckshot & slugs
What I need (I think):
Load-All
shot
wads
primers
slug mold
My questions are fairly straightforward.
1. Can I use red dot or promo with the lee slugs? I can't find load data without buying the mold, but I don't want to buy the mold if I have to invest in another jug of powder.
2. What kind of wad is necessary to load in the cheap federal hulls using promo/red dot?
Any help is appreciated.
