First off, get the Lyman Shotshell Reloading Manual.  It has loads for slugs, and follow the recipes to the letter.  The only variance that I do, is the primers.  I tend to interchange CCI and Winchester, but DO NOT substitute Fereal primers for any - they are hotter.

 

I use the Lyman Sabot Slug and use a fold crimp.  I load using a Mec700 Versamec.

 

Forgot to add that a roll crimper is available from Ballistic Products.
