Hey guys, I have been messing around with improvised 12ga loads for fun. The only load that I have done these with have been the Federal 100rd bulk packs from Wally world, 2 3/4" low brass, 7.5 shot. I have tried some cut shells in my H&R Topper with an ImpCylinder fixed choke and I have had no problems and a lot of fun. I know that it can't take a steady diet of these due to the large diameter "slug" going down the barrel. So, I tried making some wax slugs with cheap crayons. These sucked, only 1 out of 10 held together. So, in my pondering, I have given thought to purchasing a Lee 1oz keydrive slug mold. This youtube video:

Making 12 Gauge Slug Loads
shows a guy that has a pretty good method for turning the birdshot loads that I use into slug loads. He has another linked video showing how these perform and they seem to do pretty well. I know that when I do this, I take full responsability for all my actions, so please don't call me an idiot, I am already aware of this. My question to you guys is, do you think this is a would work decently for a plinking slug load for my Topper? Thanks.
