20 ga Copper solid , What do you think ?
Hello

What to you think of this for a full bore slug ?



Solid copper, hollow base, 325 grain, 0.628" can swedge them down to 0.626", grooves are 0.625"
What do you think ?

Link appears to be broken for me.

Is there a reason you prefer copper over a hard cast lead? Just curious.

Without being able to see the picture at 325 grains for a 62 caliber seems rather light, what type of velocity do you anticipate achieving?

Hello,

Don't know why you can't see the pic.
I can, maybe your browser settings.

Looks like a good idea but I am curious as to velocity?

The light weight is going to fly, but shed velocity pretty fast. That would look good with the cavity filled with a mix of #11 shot and epoxy.

Heck with 11 shot and epoxy, fill it with lead!
