Hmmm, sometimes if a cast bullet is too hard it will skid on the rifling and completely lose their accuracy. I have NO experience with a slug that is of that configuration. Very nearly smooth sided with one grease groove. Darn near a paper patch slug. Just about all of the bullets I cast for velocities in that range are about 20:1 lead/tin. Paper patch 30:1.
