Problem is that this is a 20 ga.
The original project idea was to end up with a gun similar to a paradox so very much like a game gun but capable of near rifle accuracy. Love that Faunetta from W.R..
If I was going to do this it had to be with a full bore slug as opposed to sub caliber sabot round and that effectively left me with limited options.
I didn't want to spend $12 a box on Lightfields although they seem to be great slugs. Buckhammer, Hastings or Rottweil were equally expensive as well. I thought of going about the round ball route and still might have if things don't work out as my .58 is as much gun as I will ever need to kill deer as far as I can hit them. I just happened to run across a pile of Brenekee 3" for the right price and that is how I ended up where I am.
In the future I can always re-regulate the gun if I have to.

As an aside, I am seriously thinking of picking up a pile of those Hastings wads(if they shoot through the smoothbore), purchase the mold as well and turn the slugs in the lathe into Faunetta style rounds with a plastic as opposed to a metal tip.
