reloading 20ga slugs

I recently came into a slug barrel for my old 20ga mossberg. Does anyone have any reloading info on slugs for a shotgun? Also is there anyone that actually sells the slugs? I have found a slug mould for sale but it's almost $40. Doubt that I would want to put that much into one, no more than it would be used. Any info would be appreciated.

  Ran into the same problem myself. So just for the hell of it, I loaded
  some Spencer 56-56 375 gr. lead flat nose (.546" diam) as cast , using the plastic Winchester WAA 20 wad columns, **.* grs Hercules Green dot
  powder and a 6 point crimp. Fired in a Rem. 870 modified barrel they
  showed excellent accuracy. Have some slugs and wads you are welcome to
  if you wish. More or less its a sabot I guess.

  I did the same thing as joe, but used a 58 cal minnie ball loaded backwards. accuracy wasn't great, but the woodchucks looked like they got run over by a train.
