Home Slug Casters…

I have the same MP. 22 mold on 5,55mm diameter. If I remember correctly it weighs a little under 40 grain. I can check the weight a little later. I use pure Pb and 2% Sn alloy

Hey you’re just the guy I need to talk too!
I ’m interested in getting those .22 and .25 noe slug mold’s but im curious how accurate they are. Do you mind sharing what guns you’re shooting them out of and what your accuracy is like?

im using a FX impact mk2. 700mm setup. they are accurate and work well for me. I lube and size them down to a .218.

I'm a home caster. These are my .22 cal NOE slugs. HP drop at 23gr average. I run pure lead only. I don't water quench my slugs at all. I also have a few Molds for .25 cal as well. Both pellet and slugs. Love never having to worry about not having ammo. If I'm low, I fire up the pot and get to casting.

Those look amazing!

I'm looking for 2 different molds for airgun slugs:

1. 0.218", 25gr., hp.
2. 0.25", 35gr., hp,

May I ask what molds are you using? those .22 and .25 "twins" look amazing.

If I wanted to size the slugs after casting to get .218 and .25. What sizes should I be casting before sizing?

Thanks

Manny
