    Awesome! Do you ever watch those guys on YouTube that test all those different slugs out on things? I don't remember the name of it but they've came up with some pretty cool stuff.

      Forgive my ignorance on the slug subject but is that a self defense type slug, hunting, otherwise?

      Whatever it is looks cool.

        Yeah, that’s my buddy Jeff Henzel’s channel. He’s a contributing member on my Facebook page dedicated to slug and buckshot casting.

          It’s whatever you want it to be, honestly. Depends on how hot you reload them. If I were using these for home defense, I’ll cast them out of pure lead and reload them down to about 1,000 fps.

          I have hunting in mind for these, so they’ll range anywhere from 1300-1600 fps, depending on powder.

            Very, very cool. I have always had an itch to shoot a deer with a slug. I am mesmerized by the unimaginable knock-down power.

              I have a fetish for slugs. I’d rather slug hunt that rifle hunt. Here’s a sample of my homemade slugs. Some have sub-MOA accuracy at 100 yards.

                Nice! What gun are you shootin those out of? I'd like to kill some stuff with a shotgun.

                  These are a plumbata-style slug sonthese should be accurate out of both rifled and smoothbore. I’ll test these in my H&R USH, Mossberg 590, and Mossberg 835 with both rifled and smoothbore barrels.

                    Turn them hollow-side- forward for tactical use

                        Leon, if I'm drawn for the H hog slaughter I may be reaching out to you to get some slugs if you'd be interested in making me some.

                            So those are homemade using 3/4” copper caps filled with lead. I didn’t make those. Another buddy of mine did using a staging machine.

                              I got just the load for it. Effective on this hog during the H hog hunt in March.
