A day at the range with a Slayer...

When you get it you should test it for what size slug that fits and what it likes for size also. I can run both sizes nearly as accurate, so the better option for me may be to size them at .3575 and see what happens. The bore diameter is somewhere closer to .358, as witnessed by marks on the larger slug's shank. But it has been worked and polished.

I have this mold as well and it produces real nice deer hunting slugs. I can't remember how they did at longer ranges in my Slayer because I use NSA's 142 grain swaged slugs almost exclusively, so the molded slug must not have been as tight of grouping.

I size mine to .3575. My Slayer typically groups like this at 50 yards. Don't shoot much beyond that. The Accurate Mold is Hollowpointed and is identical to the NOE Mold listed above

That is really nice grouping put of those. When I tested those I sized them at the Lee 357 sizing die. I am going to polish out an additional 0.0005" on the die to re-size some .358 NSA's and see how that acts before molding any more.

That is a nice group. Looks like I will need to get some dies ordered. I found out the Slayer wasn't actually in stock like it showed on the website, I guess there was a mix-up somehow. Tom said about a month so i will do my best to wait patiently.

Here's a link to the NOE mold that was originally designed for the 357. NOE currently has a good selection of these in stock, but they do tend to sell out because they are popular and work well.

This is another popular slug designed for the 357's that is reported to work well also.

Ordered this one last night, they were out of the 174 or I would have grabbed it also. Thanks for posting the mould number earlier.Here's a link to the NOE mold that was originally designed for the 357.

Accurate Mold is 36-168-J.
Sent it to Eric to have it hollowpointed. At 50 yards it shoots identical to the NOE Mold. Have not shot it beyond 50. Sold the NOE because the Accurate is easier to cast with.

Hard to believe that the Slayer wait time is down to a month. Last I heard was that guys were still waiting over a year. Hope it comes quickly

Has anyone tested accuracy difference in the same mold from with hollow point and without? I now have the the NOE mold mentioned above and definitely a bit of a learning curve with the NOE hollow point pins. I have done some research and think I can improve on my no go rate now that gets melted back down, but the hollow point pins add some time to the casting process.

With a hot mold, and periodically when casting, try taking a piece of beeswax and touching it to each of the tips of those pins. It helps to prevent sticking. Only touch the pins with it though, and don't contaminate the mold with wax.

Yes they do add a bit of casting time but once you get the touch you will be fine. I use the beeswax also but first I preheat the mold on a hot plate and then touch the pins with a propane Torch. Just be careful not to overheat

Does the slayer come with a cheek rest or do you just use the picatinny rail to rest your cheek?
Upvote 0
This is how mine sits, with the picatinny rail covered in a hand-hold. It comes up and rests nicely on the cheek and centered on the scope like this for me, but any picatinny rail cover, higher or narrower, could be used to fit comfortably.
