I'm new to shotshell reloading, so sorry if this is a dumb question...
Has anyone reloaded BPI AQ slugs?
The league I'm on is holding 3 gun matches & I thought I could save some $'s by reloading for the slug match. A buddy of mine gave me a Lee Loader. BUT the only data I have for slugs is for Lee, Lyman, Slugmaster and Buckbuster.
The first two appear to be a cast your own proposition, and I didn't see the others in my favorite catalogs. Midway did have BPI AQ slugs that were apealing, so I bought some. Silly me, I assumed that they would come with load data.
So Ichecked out BPI's website; they sell thier load data rather than putting it on the website (how rude). Not that I'm adverse to buying the load manual, but from the description it would appear to for thier "dangerous game" slugs.
BTW, it was from websurfing for load data that I found this forum, so it ain't all bad!
I did find a thread on reloading sabot slugs which had a link to Slugs 'R Us; if only I'd known about Shooters Forum before I bought the BPI slugs...
