What's you go to brand for slugs?

I have been a die hard NSA .25 caliber 36.2gr. @990fps for a long time.
I have just started shooting the .25 caliber 40gr Javelins @955fps.
I am happy with the accuracy of them from my M3 .
As you can see from the fired slug I recovered from 80 yards they should be excellent for shooting prairie dogs.

I'm just waiting for NOE to release some .177 molds and I'll be covered.

If I owned the small calibers, I would rather swage them. I have cast .218 and .251 but wasn’t happy with the results. Too much variation a bit more temperamental in keeping mold temperature up.

Swaging .250 and smaller would be my preference for the small calibers. I do cast .257 (entirely different bullet) and higher up to .510.

I cast a lot of 217-20-RF pellets and shoot them without sizing. They are just as accurate as any commercial pellets I've ever tried in my Cayden and Prod.
