Hello, I am new here and trying to find some help.
I have just started trying to load slugs and buckshot for a turkish ar-12. I have been casting pistole bullets for years so I decided to try casting the lee drive key 1oz slug. I used the data provided with the mold using Remington hulls, federal 209 primers, Claybuster waa12f114 slug wading and 34g of Herco. This load didn't work and destroyed my shotgun by swelling the choke and barrel. My question is what did I do wrong? I have been reloading rifle and pistole for around 20 years but reloading shotgun seems to be completely different. Any help would be appreciated.
