A kind viewer named Mike sent us some slugs I have seen before but could never find in the store.  These are called DDupleks Kaviar slugs.  Gregg and I test them out and try to figure out what exactly they would be used for.

FRANKEN-SLUGS - Ugly as Sin but SURPRISING Results

Today we test out some slugs Ron calls "Excavators".   A jacketed hollow point dum-dum slug is the best way I can describe these.  They were tricky to get to function correctly but everything seemed to work out quite well at the end.

Weather for the last week was rainy and now it's foggy so I wasn't able to film anything this week.   However,  Nick Ross sent me a cool patent for the Foster slug and again I am starting to get comments from viewers saying "rifled slugs aren't rifled,  the ribs are so they wi...

12ga. MT Round Ball vs ARMY HELMET and more!

Today we test out the MT Round Ball from Goodell Shotshell Co.  Normally lead round balls are a challenge to keep accurate because they tend to deform badly during acceleration.   I had to try mitigate deformation using household materials.
