Replacing steel shot with slugs
I had an unholy idea and wanted to ask if you see any problem with that.
My clay shooting range decided that we can only use 24g steel shot. It used to be that 28g was also okay.
I still have a lot of 28g steel shot shells and I have a 12ga 7/8oz slug mold.
7/8oz is about 25g
My idea was to open up the now useless 28g steel shot shells and add the lead slug into the shot cup.
Physically it all fits.
But do you see any safety problems with that?
In my opinion it should be fine, since I have a slighly lighter projectile and the friction surface is the shotcup to the barrel anyway, so no change there.
Ofc I would use a cylinder bore choke for it.
Do you see any safetly problems here?
Pressure spikes or something?
