Reloading roll crimped slug hulls?

[Candyman87]

The girlfriend's father just let it slip that she got me a 12 gauge reloading press for Christmas. (She shoots with me so it works out great) and I'm planning on doing some Lee Key drive slugs or Lyman sabot slugs.

Just wondering if all the roll crimped Slugger hulls I have will serve any use in my future as a reloader? Or should I toss them and save space on my reloading bench?

I've got a couple dozen of these and a couple hundred more still waiting to be shot. They appear to be the same structure as Remington Gun Clubs just with high brass and a different crimp.

My advice is, toss them and save regular birdshot hulls fired in your gun, unless your press has a provision to resize hulls.

What press did you get?

Star crimping those isn't going to work very well, if at all.

Reloading data will give the type/brand of hulls needed. A star crimp is used for both Lee and Lyman. If your not going to cast your own slugs, have a look here. http://www.ballisticproducts.com/

This is not my post, just something I ran across when I was looking into slug loading.

So it's an MEC press... her dad let that much slip and that's all I know.

I had two on my Amazon wish list, the Sizemaster and 600 Jr... she bought on Black Friday so it could have been either in the price range we agreed to spend on each other.
