Made up six loads using the .775” 730 grain conical slug today for trial in my DH 8 in anticipation of the gun season in WVA . Bores on my DH 8 measure .805” at the muzzle in the right barrel and .800” in the left barrel . Started off by adding hot melt glue to the cavity in the bottom of each slug , then but six layers of masking tape around each slug then trimmed the excess at the bottom . Used new unfired REM hulls primed Cheddarcheeserite primers , used Universal Clays and a #39A bushing or 33.5 grains by the table . Pushed in an SP-8 wad and added five 10 gauge 1/8” cards then the slug pushing down slightly with the loader . Put a little tiny bit of white grease on the edge of the hull and roll crimped . Plan on trying two from the right barrel then two from the left on different targets then finally one from each barrel at the same target . Hopefully they’ll hit a pie plate at 30 yards consistently .
