 DS>      I used that slug cast out of lead with the std white

 DS>      kick much and shoots to the same point of aim as the
 DS>      45gr Blue dot load. Take Care Dave Semonin
 LK> Did you use a standard crimp or a special roll crimp?  What machine

     Hi Lyle:
     I'm using an old Texan APII that I bought in 1968. Still works
     good. I load them just like a trap load except I replace the shot
     with the slug. I find it's best to seat the slug and wad with my
     finger so its tight but not crushing the wad. I use the std 8 pt
     star crimp as for my trap loads. I haven't tried these at the
     100 yd range yet so I don't know if they would have enough spunk
     for deer hunting. They seem to work quite well at 50 yds.
                                Take care
                                Dave
