The slug project is certainly keeping you busy.
A great project to keep the winter doldrums at bay but I forgot you don't have winter in Texas.
Those chewed up plastic wads would make great Christmas tree decorations.
Slugs have great shocking power and shotguns loaded with slugs are carried by a lot of bear guides.
I dropped a nice bull moose with a Rottweil Brenneke 12 gauge slug back in the early 90s while out ruffed grouse hunting in a maple grove in a high dry area where I never expected to see a moose in a thousand years but there it was (probably on an amorous adventure). It was a single shot Cooey shotgun but one shot was all it took.
Keep slugging it out and you'll work the bugs out of your slug loading process.....makes for interesting reading in the mean time.

Great idea, a string of "wad" holly! Wife, I suspect will veto that but there is always a need in the reloading room for holiday cheer! I will see what she thinks when a run a box of the spent wads through the washing machine to clean them up!

Mine is a little too handy with the dough rolling pin on the kitchen counter to start that conversation. :mrgreen:
