Which powder for heavy slugs?

Thanks!

Blue Dot is very close to Longshot in burn rate, just a tad faster, whereas Steel burns a little slower.

I finally got around in making lube for my 770grs (1 3/4 oz) slugs. I've been looking at established load data for that weight (in shot) all morning. Here's the powders I have for 1 3/4 oz loads:

800X
SR 4756
Blue Dot
Steel
Longshot

I'll be using 3 inch clear Fiocchi and federal 3 in drylok and regular steel shot hulls.

I loaded a 'test' round with 31 grs of longshot, x12x gas seal, 3/8 waxed card, and felt wad under slug.

Looks like this:



Which powder would you start out with?

The powder I use is Blue dot if memory serves
I also use Longshot with my new venture
If that is a Accurate mold it looks like the one I designed
I found it to be very accurate but ended up selling the shotgun I had for it

Thanks, White Eagle!

What's your load with the Longshot, and how is that working out?

The mold I have is what I had custom made for myself last week because I couldn't find anyone with it.

The same person also makes the DGS Thunderbolt like BPI's plus Brenneke's.

Hey BT, what were your results?

I'm trying to put together the same. I have a custom mold made replicating the Dixie IXL-DGS slug @ 1.75oz, before any components are added.

I too only have B-Dot, Steel, and Longshot. I'd prefer to use Longshot since I have significantly more, it's easy for me to get and costs less than the other 2.

Thanks!

Man, blast from
The past right here!

This is what I found from back then. This was at 100 yards. I believe insured blue dot.

Nice BT.

Do you recall how that test load with 31gr of Longshot performed?

[white eagle]
