In a previous video i asked you guys about that Panzer and i think i said a bought one but i was mistaken, i actually ordered a MAC 1014 Woody that got here yesterday and i put about 20 of those things through it with the ghost sight and cyl choke today and had results a bit worse than yours. So i cleaned it up and glued a red dot onto it and I'll shoot it again tomorrow. I've had super good results with those in my 870 Wingmaster police conversion with an ic choke. I was able to hit the plate at 100 yds and had touching groups at 40. I loaded em in fiochi 2 3/4" hulls with 33gr (and some with 30)longshot, FS12, .70 20g nitro card, 1/8"x3/4" rubber washer, .120 nitro card with a roll crimp which ain't much different than your load and yes they'll leave a mark 😂 Do you have an 870 with a police barrel? I'm confident enough with mine to hunt bear around here with those slugs and we usually get the buttheads that are relocated and have collars and tags here in "The Selkirks." Hopefully I'll get that MAC dialed in enough I can switch up with the 870 and get a kill with it this year. I'll have to look into my bag of tricks and see if i can invent a Benelli ic choke before i have to buy one. Great video BTW👍

No 870’s here although the Pardner pump is a clone of one. I’ve heard many people say these are amazing slugs and are super accurate, I was hoping we’d see that too. I’m not sure why we had this inconsistent of a grouping. We’ll be trying to Lyman .705’s hopefully this coming weekend though. We got rained out badly the last few days. I don’t think josh even has power right now, ain’t heard from him in a couple days.

They said the carry handle was to high for optic usage. So they created the flat top ar upper and instantly put and riser and red dot back on the flattop. Personally I had and ar national match rifle with carry handle and rail adapter. Trading it off was and stupid move. With reloads it was sub moa if not half moa. It was equally easy to fire it with iron sights and a scope.
