I have always thought that the Lee "big airgun pellet" mold was something to try when I get
one of Brad's "round TUIT"s.
Uh-OH! That is a LYMAN slug mold which looks like the big airgun pellet.

Here is your excuse to try it out.
Personally, I use #1 Buck, 16 .30 cal pellets in std 2 3/4 loads, and 20 .30 cal pellets in the
"2 3/4 magnum" loads and 24 - .30 cal pellets in the .3" magnum shells.
Seems much better than 9 .33 cal pellets to me, and the one large hog that I "field tested"
it on agreed. Dropping instantly at the shot. The post mortem showed two pellets
cut the spinal cord, accounting for the "light switch effect".
Never actually tried the 3" mag #1 buck, not too much into pain. 2 3/4 mag did so well on
the hog, I never worried about going for more. Mostly keep the 16 pellet loads, pattern
really well in my guns, but you should try it in yours.
