Oversize slugs

[Enkey]

Hi Merry Christmas

I would like to know if anyone has any technique for this, if we want to reduce the diameter of a slugs we pass it through a recalibration tee and easy. But if we want to increase its diameter? Does anyone have a technique that works well?

Regards

Run it through a new larger diameter die set through a manual swage reloading press. Essentially recycle the lead and reswage make your own using the old scrap lead or replace your barrel with a new one with a tighter choke?

Thanks for your answer Odoyle but I mean slugs bought not of own manufacture with which I do not have the original die set

Large manufacturers make slugs for standard barrels with choke, but it is a minority who work with slugs for barrels of slugs without choke.

You can use a Lead Bullet Knurling Tool from Corbin hope this helps.

Does it actually make a significant increase the slug diameter size?

My interest is to convert 250-251 to 254

Why not just buy the .254 slugs from AVS slugs? Stephen has .254 slugs in hollow, dish, cup, and flat base.

Yes it does,can take 30 cal slug and make a 308. So to add 4 thousands to a .250" slug is very easy to do.

Thanks for the replies,

Yep!! Stephen's slugs on .254 are the ones with the best results I have obtained
