I have a lead melter and Lee one ounce slug mold on order for delivery next week. I will play around with casting slugs. I think once I see how the slugs fit back into the shell, I should be better able to figure out the next steps. I truly have no desire to blow myself up!
I do like the idea of shorter finished shells. I was holding off ordering the roll crimper until I get a better feel for the fit of the slugs to see if I need cover cards or nitro pads and order them together.
Thanks for all of your help. This sure has been a long project, especially for you folks hanging in there for us coming in late. This learning session has been fabulous!
