You have to use PURE lead in the slugs or you will hardly ever get them out of the mould. I've tried all kinds of mould releases, smoked the cavities etc. If you use pure lead, the mould works ok. They shoot rather well. I have taken several deer with them. I got the best accruacy using the cheap Remington black hulls. They seem to be tighter than the AAs, with the yellow AA wads. I use Blue Dot powder, but I can't recall the weight off hand. I also made up some lower velocity loads using a trap load volume of Red Dot, and the white AA wads. They crimp just like a trap load, are real accruate at 50 yds, and are easy on your arm.
