For those who take pride in crafting their own ammunition, the Lee Shotgun Slug Mould with Handles stands as an indispensable tool. Engineered for both affordability and precision, this mould offers a cost-effective alternative to purchasing factory-made slugs without compromising on quality.
The genius of Lee's design lies in its choice of material: aluminum. This lightweight metal not only resists rust but also heats up and cools down swiftly compared to traditional iron or steel moulds. Such characteristics reduce fatigue during prolonged casting sessions, allowing you to work efficiently and comfortably.
Lee employs CNC machining techniques on the block halves, ensuring each cast yields rounder and more accurately sized slugs, even after just a few attempts. This attention to detail is crucial for achieving consistent performance when it matters most.
The 7/8 oz slug mould includes the exclusive drive key feature from Lee, which ensures positive rotation within rifled shotgun barrels—a critical factor for maintaining accuracy downrange. The package comes complete with sprue plate handles and detailed instructions that include suggested loads, making it user-friendly for novices while still meeting the demands of seasoned reloaders.
With a diameter of .681 inches and a length of .545 inches, these slugs are designed to meet stringent specifications required by discerning shooters. In essence, the Lee Shotgun Slug Mould is not merely a tool; it's an investment in reliability and craftsmanship that will serve any reloader well over time.
