I shoot a lot of slugs. I have shot a pile of slugs. I did a lot of work with a bunch of shotguns and a bunch of slugs. I have never "enjoyed" shooting slugs. Plinking! To each his own but if I was going to plink I would load my own as light as would function in the gun. In fact, I have developed a load for my 1100 (for my wife to use for deer) that is not much different than a 1 ounce trap load. You can buy a Lee slug mould for a song and a Lee Load All for a half a century note. If you are going to shoot a lot, that might be the way to go. (of course, starting to reload is a self defeating purpose as you can't stop "growing"). I'm up to around 70 moulds, a bunch of presses (five shotshell alone), and dies, dies, dies.
