Default Safari Club Big Bore Shoot

A friend in the Charlottesville area is having a Safari Club Big Bore for fun shoot next Saturday . I no longer own any what I would call African heavy hitters so I offered to bring my 8 and shoot some slugs , punkin balls and buckshot which he gladly accepted . So today I loaded in brand new Remington hulls six with the .775” 730 grain slug , six with the .795” roundball and four with 000000 buckshot (those are .415” roundballs) . The buck loads have ten pellets in each shell . Just finished took about 45 minutes to load sixteen shells to suit me .

I’d loaded 000000 buck the other day and I saw a bottle of 0 buck on my desk so I decided to load four rounds containing 18 pellets of 0 buck .

Are you adding a buffer to those buck loads?

Yes I am one to two scoops of Grex or something similar . And I’ve not noticed any leading to speak of . While the masking tape certainly wouldn’t be a first choice for the slugs or round balls I think it also does a pretty fair job of cutting down on lead smears in the bore .
