These are punkin (round) balls . I doubt I ever buy another slug mold , I have the one that’s to big for the chokes in my tens and I can patch it up enough to work inside my parameters . One of those molds comes from the maker then you send it to the hollow point guy to make a base plug . By the time it’s done you’ve got over $200 invested . I’ll just make do with the slugs I already have . These roundball molds from Tanner’s in the UK are about $45 each plus shipping .

The new punkin ball molds arrived in NYC yesterday now how long will it take to make the six hour trip to central Virginia ! I went out about an hour ago to try 000000 buck , .775” punkin balls and .775” slugs . Shot them all at 28 yards . Decided on 000000 buck for the right barrel and the slugs/punkin balls are about the same out the left barrel . First pic is buck second is slugs and the last is punkin balls .

Oh yes failed to mention these were shot in the slightly more open PH 8 rather than the tighter hammer gun .

I was looking at a 10 ga pumpkin ball/ tri ball load recently, somehow they stuffed three 1 1/8oz round balls into a 10 ga hull . Definitely more weight than I would want to fire out of a 10lb gun lol . I have some buckshot loads planned for the 8 gauge but ive been procrastinating on it .
