    I love you guys, but you screwed up. This would have been a perfect Easter episode.... maybe letting the Fam paint some of the "eggs"....😋

      @@tafino yep it’s rifled. It’s an H&R cap/shur 32 gauge tranquilizer gun. Without the adapter for .22 blanks inserted, it’s just a 32 gauge with a rifled barrel. It’s basically an ultra slug but in 32 gauge instead of 12 or 20.

    Save that 35 Rem brass and roll your own, surprised you don't already. That would definitely be 1 of the examples of hand loading saving you a significant amount of money.

    That's good performance for an off the wall projectile. Now you need to find a swaging die to get them to the right diameter. Maybe Lee precision or night owl engineering

    • @theshotgunscientists
      @theshotgunscientists  2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      They need squished flat, they’re like .45 out of the bag. I should have been more clear about that in the video lol. A vice would be ideal, quick and easy.

    A .535 blunderbuss would be about 30 gauge?

    • @theshotgunscientists
      @theshotgunscientists  2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Maybe 31 gauge. Bore diameter of a standard 32 gauge is .526 but the rifled h&r’s are just .50 cal .505 bore

    • @samwilliams1142

      Thanks I have the bullet molds for 54. And was curious about a 54 smooth bore. Especially if I find a flintlock cheap.

      @@samwilliams1142 that’s effective 28 gauge. Standard 28 gauge bore is .55 but it can go a little bigger or a little smaller just like 12 and 16 gauge commonly are.

      2 ounce egg sinkers just squish them down to .780 and use an x10x fiber wadding and a nitro card. Follow 2 ounce data. They hit like a freight train but loose accuracy past about 40 yards because they tumble.

      May I make a Suggestion ? Instead of using Channel locks, How about a Sizing Die in.51 cal. Get a drill bit closest to that size (.51 ) drilling and piece of T6 or Mild steel and size up a bunch ​@theshotgunscientists

      Actually tss is likely completely doable in both 32 and 24 gauge. Turns out someone is making wads for both for tss.
