Archive of Modding and Building Lore. If you want to know how a professional inventor, designer and master craftsman does it check out my various playlists. Fine woodworker since 1983, acrylic fabrication specialist, and amateur weapon smith. I have a long term interest in firearms and motorcycles so you'll find plenty there too. Some crazy inventions and a lot of one-off prototype products are in the archive, you just have to dig around a little. And of course Wax Slug Making Tools and Supplies.
I have a question I have 2 3/4 shells and I tried making this but when I put the slug in the wads it goes down pretty far down the shell, about half way down and I wanna know if it’s safe to shoot it like that or a fix for such a gap
Has anybody ever taken a cheap birdshot round, drilled a small hole in the top, and poured in hot wax? To make a 'slug' out of the shot? Would that work?
Dude, you're my hero. I've seen so many different videos that do things differently and that non of those didn't work out for me. I messed up mu nice butcher block countertop ao bad. And I found this video which is freaking awesome. I just applied the final coat amd hope it dries well. Dude my love to ya❤. The best video!
Its not that u used too agressive of a tool. You just over did it. U had it and then u kept grinding . How much fps did u end up geting after all this. I heard just cuting the threads odd you can expect to get the gun to shoot over 600fps. Sp im curious what the porting did and if it is actually worth possobly damaging it permanently
Had a similar problem with my 1858 after triple shotting it a bit. I expected that though cause it’s hard on the gun. I was able to fix it by sanding and stoning/polishing the action parts and main spring and was able to get it back going perfectly now.
The Earth is Flat and Globalism is Done . Stay Strapped and Pure Blood. Hyperborea may exist at Magnetic North directly under Polaris. We have nothing to lose.
The glaring and repeatedly stated issue of over-pressure from removing the wad “Legs” is real. I can see (possibly) starting with a 1-1/8oz target load and going to a 7/8oz Lee Key Slug to reduce the risk, however, the burn speed of the powder may not be ideal when driving a 1/4oz less payload. In addition to that, it’s a Remington. That’s not an insult. I’ve had several 870s and the newer models have cross-hatching in the chamber. The first time I experienced an FTE, it was after the action got increasingly stickier. Eventually, it was nearly impossible to cycle. The carbon bonded to the cross-hatching and restricted the brass. When the “Brass” naturally expanded during firing, it would lodge. I bought a hone and never had the problem again. I can see that glue speed up the process I just described. Roll crimp tools are cheap. Give it a try.
Its a good method this, but several tests from youtubers have show that any spacers bellow the slug will affect accuracy and have the slug wobble in flight. No spacers and the slug will be going perfectly straight.
If you do any reloading 12 gauge shells you know they must be resized back to original specs because the brass will routinely expand when fired. Pick up any hull that has been fired and you probably won't be able to chamber it properly. But your process made it even worse by removing the compression part of the wad. I dare say you know that now. I'm glad you were not injured or had damaged the firearm. It's a good process just keep the original wad and cut the petals down then do a roll crimp. You will still end up with a shorter round that is safe. We call this a " Hobo load ".
I know exactly what the problem is. I've been making these for a long time. You used way too much hot glue that stuff sticks really well to the inside Of the shells. I do Something similar to what you're doing but I put a Nitro card on top and put a few dots of hot glue. Then it works perfectly fine.
Why? Just crimp the reload. Even hand-loading one shell at a time, it is faster to just crimp the shell than to go to all this unnecessary work. A punch, a dowel rod with a hole drilled through it, a rubber hammer, and a 2x4 with some holes to hold the shell were my reloaders back in the '70s as a kid. I crimped all my shotshells. Crimp starters are cheap, they are like 10 bucks.
This video should be pulled before someone does damage to themselves or their shotgun. Many will watch and follow the instructions given here and not bother to read some of the excellent advice given below.
I've got one of them bikes and it's very fast mine's mine has the race only box it also has a and it has the bigger injectors 10000 race box power commander side winder kit it will scream iv built bikes for 40yrs it's the fastest Harley I ever had iv got big inch motors on other bike s that can't hold a light to my built buell its like a bicycle with alot of horsepower so dont think it want run its so fun i still love my softtail and other harleys iv got and iv got jap bikes to but nothing like riding this buell it took me sometime to get it all nailed in and all the loose ends in the curves are great handles so good and wheels great to just grab the throttle and twist its
Thank you - you definitely helped with my hammer issue and gave me pointers on feed issue - Have yet to try firing - but i do appreciate your attention to detail.!
