Where is the re sizer?

I bought a Lee 18-ball OO BUCK mold and have tried it out. Takes a long time to heat up and form the lower pellets. Once it heats up though, make sure to leave a connecting sprew over the top! This seems to keep the mold chambers from turning solid too soon and not filling the bottom cavities. I then use an old (sharp) cleaver to break up the three pellets in each string. I don't expect factory accuracy or groups, but for closer range work they are awesomely cheap to make.

Random hint ALERT... take apart the loader the aluminum column in the back that has a spring, wrap a layer of hockey tape on the spring it silences the loader so its not so ridiculous then you can silently prepare for the up and coming zombie invasion in the next room without your wife/girlfriend getting worried

i have been thinking of getting one of these presses for doing buckshot. do you have any experience with the new lee 18 ball buckshot mold? do you have any experience doing light loads? how does that short brass work for doing slugs and buckshot?

@conatuslife Me and a friend of mines been talking about getting one so once I get it I'll post up a review. Almost 90% of my reloads are light loads for competition and HD practice. They work excellent in pump action but Semi-auto I have no tried but think they will be underpower to cycle the bolt. I should check though. ;)

I have some LEE slugs that i was planing to reload. the slugs fits true the bore
without the wad but in a wad it does not. Is that dangerous ore will the slug form
to the barrel? Its a winchester 1200 pump .

@magvat That will always be the case. The reason why it doesnt fit with the wad is so the gas pressure can build up to actually push the slug. The wad is there to create pressure. Just make sure you match the right wad/load/oz

where do you buy your slugs and does it matter if the slug is expose like the ones you buy in the store or not

@moiecol I cast my own slugs. For this type of slugs you want the crimp to fold in to get the correct pressure, but of course if your shooting pump, you can load without the wad crimped. ;)
