Thread: Lead Cast sabots / solids

[QUOTE=Boar Freak;544011]Hey mate, cant help with reloading solids, but fired a few hundred factory solids and I liked the federal the most.
Used to reload 00 by pouring out the shot from geese load and refill with close to original weight of home made 00. Probably not the best way to do it.

Not sure if you suppose to shoot 00 from rifled barrel, but I did and in my gun the pattern opened up quite a bit compared to normal

Paradox guns were made for the cape and india, a smooth bore with light rifling just at the muzzle. Gave enough spin to stableise a solid but not enough to interfere with good shotgun patterns. Typical twists were 1: 70 or 80 similar to the snider. Faster twists open the pattern too quickly.
