Well, that’s easy enough. Thanks for the idea.

BTW, if you have drill bits and blocks of hardwood, some pretty good slug molds are possible. I’ve been experimenting with various slugs and shot and loads for shells to allow expanding shotgun tube mag capacity. I’ve found that the minimum length for Mossberg and Mav 88 pumps is 2 1/8 inch, to cycle properly. For semi autos with full length lifters, a 2 inch shell will function quite well and even some with 1 3/4 inch if the powder loading and wad packing is done right. I use a roll crimping closure method unless just reloading spent shot shells to their previous standard lengths.
