Re: shotgun slug casting
Cheap? Lee slug mold or round ball mold. Best? Not the Lee mold....but...
Heat the lead past 325-deg & it'll melt....the Lee lead pots are cheap...other options are available.

Re: shotgun slug casting
Lyman sabot slug mould is not too shabby - not cheap though
You'll need the lead and the mould plug (for the hollow base) hot to geta dent fill without wrinkles

A 15MM AF Ring spanner used as a Mold will give you a slug weighing around 400 Grains with a O/D of 0.680".
Hold the spanner on a flat metal surface and dunk in water when it hardens, tap the slug out.
