Cheap Bulk 12 gauge slugs, any suggestions?

[Jbaker8390]

Hello guys, I've been browsing around for some relatively "inexpensive" 12 gauge slugs. No luck in sight I found a box of 250 rounds at a random site for 147.99 but it was completely sold out. The best bulk buy i could find was from fiocchi

Do you guys have any suggestions as where you may find a more affordable option, besides the lee reload option.

buy a few 100 pks of the cheap shotgun ammo from walmart for $25 each then buy some wax canning or paraphan and make your own wax slugs its real easy and real cheap I use them in my top break and my buddies pump with no issues

sgammo used to have some before the latest panic... maybe check their site every so often.

That's where i got the quote for .61 cent a slug, 149.99 for 250. Unfortunately they've been out of stock. I can't really produce my own reloads because i live in an apartment with cramped space. I guess I'll have to fork over some money for now for those Fiochhi Slugs :|.

I just got done cutting open 50 rounds of bird shot so I can make wax ones cause I am cheap

S&B buckshot used to be cheap. Not sure what the situation these days are. It doesn't pattern real well but fine for shooting stuff at the range.

If you have a stove or a boiler plate, you can make your own wax slugs. I got a cheap pot from the thrift store for $3 and a shoe box of used candles for $2.

Wax slugs for 20-25 cents a piece.

I've been considering the wax slugs, just a bit weary though.

^ the link above shows a wax slug exploding in the chamber of this gentlemen shotgun, injuring him and destroying the firearm in the process.

I've seen a few mishaps through forums, as a novice at crafting rounds I feel a bit uneasy as this could happen to me if i'm not careful.

1oz. key drive lead slugs, instead of wax. PM me if your'e interested.
I cast quite a few more than needed last time.

Centurion slugs are cheap and work pretty darn well for me.

bought mine on sgammo.com. They don't seem to have any at the moment. Think i payed just under 100 bucks shipped for 250.

hey baker, you dont list where your located, i bought 6 dozen of the lee slug's that a guy in orange county was selling because he cast to many.

he was selling them 13 slugs for 6.00.

I just cut open the top of wally mart bird shot, emptied it out and pushed in the lee slug after reaming it per this video. it looked just like a normal roll crimped slug

Watch this youtube video, i made a couple dozen for a local shoot I go to.

They worked good, only thing, check that when you ream them, you dont mushroom the tip's of the hull, or it might stick on a semi auto, after watching the video, i couldnt find my 10mm socket and used a peice of plastic and i ended up making them a little to wide.

pump action= zero issues.

I actually ended up buying a smelter, 23 pounds of lead and a lee mold just to try to make my own. Going to cast a couple of hundred this weekend.
