20 gauge non-sabot slugs for a rifled barrel?

mattri

Silver $$ Contributor
Looking to start loading slugs in a 20 gauge single shot with a rifled barrel. Would like to use a non-sabot slug, either cast myself or bought as a component. Does anyone make a mould/slug other than Lyman- theirs requires a sabot. I'd like to cast a 20 gauge, non-rifled slug to shoot as a large cast bullet. Any suggestions?
 
Matt....I have used the 12ga (just like the 20 ga version) Lyman mold/slug for a long time and find it to be very accurate....it uses a conventional plastic AA wad and crimps closed just like a shot-shell..!!! very simple and effective.....most folks dont have luk whn shooting forster style slugs in a rifled bbl,,they were desighned to shoot som-sorta projectile in a sabot or wad which will be spun by the rifleing ..which spins the projectile.............Roger

The lee 20 gauge mould works with the infamous winchester AA hulls with the star crimp and everything.It is only about 20.00 at midway or sometimes lee factory direct has deals delivered direct to you as well.
 
Haven't been able to find any information on the 20 gauge Lee mould, just the 12.

The only other full bore 20 gauge mould I've found is the Lyman, and that lists as having a .605 diameter. Aren't most 20 gauge bores between .615 and .620?
