Jackal. Correct me if I'm wrong, are they hammerhead slugs from slugs r us ?
Actually no, those are all my castings - straight out of a Lee 1oz slug mold.
This is a surprising realization on my part as well - I will have to investigate.

What is the finished length ? Do they feed reliably through a pump or semi auto shotgun ?
Finished overall length varies between 1.70" and 1.75"
In my experience with the 50 or so I've fired so far, I've only had one hangup with them in my 500.
The shell got far enough back on the lifter that it missed the lifter "tongue" the plastic fell between the lifters arms and dangled it by the brass rim.
Though I have also witnessed this malfunction occur with factory length ammo when the gun is short-shucked, but given the low round count so far I can't make a fair judgement between it being operator error or ammunition related. Time (and more rounds downrange :mrgreen: ) will tell.
Update on the flat top slugs - I'm wondering if I don't have a defective mold.
I couldn't get it to close all the way on the slug in the second picture, but you can see the rather large gap it leaves at the sprue.
I'm wondering if the cavity on this particular mold was cut out of spec.
Can anyone post a picture of their mold in a similar fashion to confirm?
