DIY Slugs

I got the tools in this video for Christmas and have made a couple of these slugs and they work very well.
Just thought I would share it with everyone.

It looks like it would be easier to make "cut shot gun shells"

I've made birdshot into flechets. Never really considered slugs

I have that same mold too. It makes a nice slug. His mold was too cool. That is the reasoning behind the wrinkles in the finished slug. I crimp mine with a standard star crimp like a shot load. Not too keen on the metal to metal tapping he did with the lineman's pliers. I use an old hammer handle.

BPI (Ballistic Products Inc) sells sabots to load muzzleloader bullets into shotshells. Perfect for rifled barrel slug guns and rifled choke tubes.

Anybody know where I can get a mold for .410 slugs?
