12 Gauge Slug Drop - Demonstrated and Explained 

Call me crazy but i think they should all be 3" mags in slugs loaded probably 50-100fps faster

Did you ever get a hit on one that had no expansion? I hit a doe with one at 25 yards pencil holed both sides luckily I got her spin and she dropped right in her tracks I had to finish her off but that was the last time I ever used them in a hunting situation out of my 535 24"fully rifled barrel with rifle sights I changed over to cheap Winchester sabot ammo and my gun loves it anything 10-260ish yards and if it's brown it's down the doe that I had ranged at 256 took a step or two so I split the difference and call it 260 yards normally I won't shoot out that far but it was a rough hunting season that year and was the last day and I ended up getting her so it was meat in the freezer!!! Even though I know some guys I used to hunt with before I moved to Ohio would stretch their slug guns out to 300-350. That's not me. I don't think it's right to the animals that we pursue to shoot at them out that far!! I've killed some paper at 350-400 but no way would I trust a slug that far my .308 hot loads all day but I can only use it for varmint hunting here so I have a bunch of 110 grain vmax and oh boy is that something to see yotes at 600-700 plus yards take a dirt nap and I love it and don't really care if anybody wants to come and say 308 is way too much gun for yotes I tell you this. The pelts ain't worth nothing anymore and it's fun plinking them fawn killers with my 308 happy hunting good luck everyone long response but my real world experience maybe it will help or inspire someone to get out and take out some fawn killers if you guys just kill deer and then sit around for a year waiting for deer season again if everyone does that maybe won't have any deer to hunt in there lifetime 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ if you're going to be a deer hunter predator control, it's just as important. Even more important in my opinion. Very few guys that get out and do it anymore

I have a Churchill 612 tactical Turkish made pump that holds its own against my 835 slugger out to 70 yards with the same ammo but the men and boy guns part ways at that point. That 612 will chew up and shoot out any old pos round you put through it with prejudice but my 835 is a picky bitch. It loves pellet slugs, but doesn't everyone's shotgun love pellet slugs?

@Jean Morin I would like to see that too.

I'm not so sure that a smooth bore would be that much worse honestly. Spin stabilization isn't always the truest way to make something fly think about it.rockets planes darts arrows the all use fin and aerodynamics which throughout history have more studies and experiments than spin with shotguns.all thanks to dumb laws outlawing rifled shotguns and poverty gave citizens only smooth bore single shot or homemade guns/shotguns I would like to use taofledermaus as an example but the few times they used slugs they were foster slugs and normal stuff like that the correct load will go out to 30p yards easy with little drop and be accurate so.e eve. Armor piercing

Given that sabots are not designed to be shot from smooth bore barrels, doing so would likely be a waste of money. There are better products on the market for that use.

I have a 12 Ga H&R single shot from the '30s I cut down and silver soldered a scope base right on the barrel. The old barrels are thick enough to do that. I have a cheap short tube scope I put on. Back then slug hunting was just coming in and not one scope company would guarantee a scope on a shotgun. Still have the cheap scope on well after 100 rounds. With Federal slugs I get one ragged hole at 50 yards. I never tried farther on the range, but have shot deer out to 75 yards and it hit where I aimed. I would not trust a shot out past 100 yards with it. I built rifled shotguns for people and it is true, brand of ammunition matters. No slug ammo is loaded as close as rifle ammo either.

Appreciate you watching

A foot is a crazy drop for that distance you should invest in a 308😂

Thanks for watching Jack

Its a rifled barrel shooting sabots.

Our area is shotgun only. If you got sighted in, they’re pretty accurate. I’ve done from 40 yards, to 50, 75 and 134 yards on white tails

Works pretty great

Thanks for watching

Exactly

I do. They are accurate, but there’s more accurate Russian slugs out there.

Absolutely

Thanks for watching Guy

Thanks for watching George

That's what I thought. I just moved to Ohio at the end of last year deer season and I seen somebody else comment here that they're going to be building an AR and my question is in an AR platform can you use a larger magazine just only put in two plus one? Or how does that work cuz I could see a lot of ways people could cheat that? TIA

Thanks for watching
