Test firing the cast 12 gauge slugs.

Testing 4 of my cast slug reloads. Using a Mossberb 590 shotgun with ghost ring sights. My 2nd round had a primer failure and case issue. It fired correctly the 2nd time around. Using CCI primers on these, and will switch back to Winchesters as I haven't had an issue with them yet. (2nd failure to fire on CCI Primers) Using a very light loading of Red Dot powder, I will probably up the grain a bit and experiment.

@skateboy159 870s are great shotguns. I prefer them over Mossbergs, but I had my Mossberg handy at that moment.

nice shotgun, will probably buy one or something similar.

[KaseyKeesaman]

Can't go wrong with a 590 or an 870! Even the 500 is a good, value shotgun.

is that shotgun brand new? my 870 locked up like that for the first 20-30 times i fired it.

[KaseyKeesaman]

@CrossfireR8 No. It was pretty dry as I had not lubed it after shooting a couple hundred shells through it. The case on that particular shell was damaged as well, which lead to extraction issues. On your 870, liberally spray some lube into the chamber and actions and work it a few times. That clears up any issues with my 870's.

Winchester shell tend to expand in the chamber upon firing sometimes with me that's why I stick with Remington shells which are thicker and last longer

To the butt?

All kidding aside...thanks for posting.

I have been reloading 44 mag/spl for a while now. I am about to jump into bullet casting. Thanks for the videos,very informative.

[KaseyKeesaman]

Yes they are 1 ounce Lee Key-drive slugs I cast in my other videos. They hit hard (with a heavier powder charge of course) and are very accurate from a smooth bore.
