Hello,

Yes I'm new to this Forum. Although I read a lot of stuff.

My question.

I have a winchester 1893. 12g - 2 5/8 chamber - blackpowder pump shotgun

I want to shoot, an all brass cartridge, blackpowder with a slug. For nearby accuracy 20-50 yards. I want to shoot without plastic wads.

First: Which SLUG (which mould) should I use????

-LEE (with hollow base)
-Lyman sabbot
-Lyman
-other ????? (terminator?? rapine)

Second: What is the best practice in Filling an all brass cartridge.
What wads, and do these slugs fit in an allbrass shell without plastic wads?

Third: Does anyone have experience with this and with different loads???

Greetings Harry V. (willard-Slug)
