Took three presses to the shop today ! Started out loading 10 gauge 2 7/8” with the .69” roundball and they came out looking pretty decent although a slight bulge in the middle , I’m using a rather thick Precision Reloading steel shot wad with these round balls . Then I loaded some 12 gauge 2 3/4” with a solid base version of the Lyman sabot slug nestled in the CB WAA12 wad and as expected they came out just like the HB version of the same slug . Then I loaded some 12 gauge 2 3/4” using another Precision Teloading steel shot wad Nd two .600” roundballs , they also did relatively well during the loading process . Finally I loaded some 12 gauge 3” with a triple ball load and a different Precision reloading steel shot wad specifically for 3” hulls and they settled very well except I was 100% satisfied with the final crimp on some but time should remedy that if they shoot anywhere near what I’m
Hoping for !

hope these round ball loads work out for you i m a fan of the round ball load...i killed a deer with my 8 gauge lifter with a round ball load...my round ball for the 8 ga weighs 2 ounces....that deer never even moved a twitch when hit with that load...i bet your 3 ball load will be awesome.....charlie

The single 69 cal roundballs in the 10 gauge using the SP-10 wad worked pretty well , using the Precision steel wad they were to tight . The double 60 cal balls in a 2 3/4” shot okay but they need a little tweaking . The tri ball 60 cal 3” loads shot very well group wise . Shot all the 12’s in a Benelli semi

Found a new (to me) mold manufacturer earlier this week and ordered a pair of molds . One for the 10 gauge and a second for the 12 gauge . These things are actually molds for .69 caliber muskets . But they’re adaptable the .695-535 is good for a 12 gauge nestled in a CB WAA12 wad and the .715-535 will work well nestled in a REM SP-10 . They come with a pin to cast with hollow base , I was able to get them to make me a second pin for each so I have solid base slugs as well . I imagine I should recieve next week some time . https://moosemoulds.wixsite.com/mm2013/wadcutter-hb
