- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 มี.ค. 2012
- Testing the Remington Slugger, 12 gauge 3" Magnum 1 oz Foster rifled slug (hollow base) in a ballistic gel format at a distance of 20 feet. Using SIM-TEST Ballistic Testing Media that has been recalibrated to match the properties of 10% ordinance gelatin. Brief review pre-shot followed by evaluation of the tested media. Test gun is the Mossberg 590A1 Special Purpose shotgun, 20" barrel.
With a muzzle velocity of 1700 fps, this 1 ounce (437.5 grains) piece of lead is packing approximately 2800 ft lbs of energy at the muzzle. We could see a 50 lb block of gel go airborne!

The jelly dance and tumble says it all! Slugs are pretty scary, and even their accuracy in a smoothbore continues to surprise me.
Hello 10 year old comment 😂
Woah it's hickok45!! Decade old comment even lol
Yes, so I'm finally getting notifications for your channel !
Only took 10 years. 🫣
Thanks TH-cam algorithm . 🤣
@@mikehunt4947 hey man, it’s Hugh Janus! Remember me?
it's so... *wipes away man tears*... it's so beautiful.
ye mean
A MANLY TEARS
Very impressive how that round picked up and flipped that 50lb. block of ballistic gel.......WOW !!!
11 years later and I’m still impressed with the video quality.
Holy cow, that’s true!
Hands down the most informative and comprehensive testing videos I've seen on TH-cam! Love the Specs with weights, FPS and energies. Very well presented, very clearly articulated. No long awkward pauses as the guy tries to think of the correct terminology for the thing-a-ma-bob he's pointing to on the screen like dozens of other waste of time TH-cam How-To-Videos.
I MISS THIS GUY. HE IS ONE OF THE BEST EVER ON TH-cam.....
STT VOYAGER what happened to him?
xcrfty he retired. He got sick of demonetization and wanted to spend more time with family. If ever there was a true professional at making videos though......
Retired from shooting guns? And it was all about the money for him? Let him sit at home then.
@@sttvoyager1727 I heard he got a lot more responsibilities at work and just didn't have the time anymore
@@xcrfty "All about the money for him" ? Really ? What would be your guess as to how much time and money it took for him to make each video ? It's probably best if you go back to your Nintendo 64 and work on your Donkey Kong Country times and leave the thinking to the Big People.
These are still my favorite slug!Smooth bore, 18" barrel, 870mag express. I've almost bullseyed at 25 yds.
Those slugs are a lot of fun to shoot from an 8.5" barreled pistol.
Recoil is a handful, muzzle flash would make Hollywood blush.
@Jimmy Kimmel >fun
Don't remember reading "accurate as fuck" in this dudes comment.
love your reviews. great hear someone that uses scientific method and genuinely fantastic numbers and measures in their reviews. excellent work, thank you very much
This is what I keep in my shotgun for home defense, these shells kick ass!
I used these for deer before. They work.
I notice a lot of people saying foolish things in the comment section. No, these are not "armor piercing". Why would they be? Its a lump of relatively soft lead.
I think the issue is, is that slugs can kill you without even penetrating soft armor. The force of the projectile alone will collapse your lungs and break your sternum easily. That's why armor gets brought up a lot in slug videos.
jimbo111589 Oh I 100% agree with that assessment. But to say they are armor piercing would be a misnomer.
Completely agree, ribs would break, internal bleeding and probably hitting the ground hard on impact. Armor piercing on not.
You guys definitely not the typical TH-camrs 👍
@@blackalgorithmist000 good ole regular human interaction :)
It would go through both doors. Trust me. Water slows down a projectile a lot mire than you think.
You took the words out of my mouth. Waters incompressible properties are amazing. The stronger the round, the more water will slow it down.
Roger that
Watch the Mythbusters where they shoot the .50BMG into the swimming pool. If I remember right, the bullet stopped at something like 5ft??
1m so about 3ft water and your safe
+Guardsmen4 I tested a hatsan 155 torpedo in .25 against two gallons of water and I was shocked when it passed through. 45grn at 750fps.
This was an EXTREMELY well done video. Quick, right to the point, well documented and fun to watch. Keep up the great work.
I'm a shotgun addict and really enjoy when ya do tests/reviews of ammo.
Thanks for the vid and keep it up please.
Every shotgun addict owns a 590... I hope you do👍
Im a shotgun addict as well, but do not own home defence shotguns, all hunting shotguns, semi’s and pumps.
@@michaeltrevino201 because justin trudeau says “canadians do not have the right to use a gun to protect your own life”
Brenneke or Rottweil 2 3/4" foster slugs have been my entire areas go to deer round where I live. Ive never seen the slug not pass through the deer entirely. Through shoulder blades. Rib cage. Everything.
I've been using them for a while. Every deer I shot with them didn't go 30 yards. Great slug
Love the humor on this guy
Very impressive back-flip; it was worth the low hit for the aerial acrobatics!
Been doing some research and was surprised to learn that the pattern on these slugs has nothing to do with stability. They do rotate, but not at a rate that would have any stabilizing effect whatsoever. The raised rifling prevents damage in the event someone were to fire it in a shotgun with a tight choke. The only reason they are slanted at an angle is for marketing. The term - "Rifled" implies greater accuracy.
I love your channel, been watching for a year or longer! Thank you for all of your reviews!! The best on youtube!!!
Wow, I really appreciate the quality of your videos. Thank you.
Pro tip....
Three inch 12g rounds kick like a SOB.....
Take the shoulder plate off you will notice 1-2 holes cut out to save weight.They are the perfect size for nickels (coins). Fill the hole or holes up with nickels the gun will be heavier but will reduce the recoil often considerably.
When it comes too heavy rounds often a light gun is not always ideal.I had a 7mm magnum synthetic the damn thing would bruise your shoulder even with the proper stance.I traded it for a wood version while heavier it felt like a whole different gun when it came to recoil.
MrSnapy1 your just a pus😂😂😐

I've earned some epic bruises from a 3" nitro-mag(nitro steel, remington) rounds...i'm done after fifteen rounds! lol very similar to a 30-6, in recoil.
Great stuff, thnx for taking the time. BTW, on the next ballistic gel test, instead of mutilating the gel, send it to me. I have a high frequency digital X-ray machine I can digitally send to you via dicom image. I will do it free of charge. I'd be curious to see what it looks like unmolested.
great work!! thank you for your effort and expertise!
TN, every time I watch one of your videos I am amazed by your marksmanship. You have to be the best I have ever seen. Really great shooting!
R Lindsey Huh? He missed a gel block from 20 feet! Have you ever shot a gun before???? He's a horrible shot!!!! lol
You never know when Sasquatch may sneak in your window.
John Dough شوي
John Dough THESE rounds are for two legged intruders.
If anything is sure to take care of Bigfoot, it's 45-70, 500 S&W, or a 3 inch 12 guage slug
They are for when the bear tries to push his way through the kitchen or patio door.
@@DerWaidmann_ They work just fine in 2 3/4 too.
Try to imagine getting hit in the gut with this round from about 25 feet. Your done.
@Sheldon Robertson oh stfu
It'll bowl over a Bad Guy and leave him on the ground....

Get hit anywhere and you're done.
Hey I'm impressed with that round. That would be very good for hunting. Great video. I like seeing things I did not know about. A demo is worth a thousand words.
Nice forensic detail. I am retired from the field but,I think you put that together nicely.
This is one of my favorite loads. Downright scary stopping power on pretty much anything.
A fellow I went to school with met his demise from a 12 gauge slug. He was always a little odd, messed up mentally, and tried to attack a neighbor of his while riding on a lawn mower. The homeowner fired one slug, center mass, which literally, no exaggeration, blew him off the mower into the street, where he expired. Absolutely devastating round.
i use hexolit32 buck. u think this is bad watch a vid on that.
only shot two deer with slugs. All I can say is They're highly effective.
Steve Weiss got a source? Any news cast? Or are you lying for a good story?
@@DirtyDan1 sounds like a gta version while high on crack
Reminds me of the story comedian Tim Wilson used to tell. "Ate his ass up with a weed eater!"
Charlie Brown would have said "Good Grief" too. Impressive and one of the reasons I miss your videos. Science and illustration in one video.
I only found your channel because I was looking for some slug info. I'm subscribing. Well done.
*aims the gun at the xj
me: DUDE NO! (out loud)
"im not gonna do that"
me: oh thank god (out loud)
This load would be effective against soft targets, but it also goes to show that some option like the Brenneke hardened slugs would be better for penetrating hard targets like vehicles etc. Nice video!
God I love your channel! Awesome, no other word fits.
3”slugs are a massive weapon!!! They bruise the shoulder but dump massive shock into the target. Truly awesome!!
Got to love some Tennessee!
That brown gel i swear looks like caramel.
I wondered why watching this made me want a Werther's Original...
Looks like shit 💩
Cool stuff, I like clear slow mo shots
Great video! and i really enjoyed the way you put it! Alot off good information that will be good to know! thanx for your time!
I said NO! when you aimed at the XJ Jeep. Great little vehicles.
That opening, I was like "oh shit, he's gonna do it!"
I was like 'what the...?' On that jeep...lol. Ballistics is crucial for my decision regarding ammo and you've done more than a great job on the leg work - very detailed. Some of the slugs tend to shoot low or high etc. It's helpful to know what's the more accurate brand and whether or not the more exotic stuff will cause issues. Thanks a lot for this video.
awesome video love all your ammo testing......another sub here keep up the awesome
work
Ive taken at least a dozen deer with these 3" Sluggers from Rem. Theyre no joke
Those days telling story about your hunt are about gone.
All ready at baker's dozen.
I would like to state that its hard to get any rounds through a lot of water as water does not compress. if you were to shoot in a pool of water, the surface tension would be hard to break, and might as well be close to a brick wall.
This. Larger rounds traveling at higher velocity simply fragment in water. Lower speed projectiles don't fragment and are more lethal in water. See mythbusters shooting water to see a good example of this.
ralffyx
Mythbuster's data was flawed due to choice of ammo type. Numerous tests have shown bullets traveling through feet of water without breaking apart, when MB reported complete disintegration.
Grate review, love the insights you provide, wonderful work.Woo Hooo!
Finally, video reviews with numbers.
Muzzle velocity, impact force, amount of fragmentation.
Keep it scientific!
Water isn't a good analog for other materials because how it resists and transfers energy. Water is weird.
I have a Mossberg 695 12 Ga. bolt action rifled barrel slug gun. After spending a ton of $$ on sabots and other slugs made for a rifled barrel I realized that my gun shoots stupidly accurate with these Remington sluggers. Now that's all I shoot.
***** Interesting point, thanks for submitting. I'm probably going to run something like this through my slug gun and test accuracy at 50, 100, 200 yards etc.
***** That would be great! Could you also pop a scope on a smooth bore and contrast accuracy at similar distances?
***** is what you d
Of course it does these suckers self stabilize to a 4 to 5 inch group maximum in a hundred yards the rifling is going to get you darn near same hole
Great Video. Keep up the great work. Nick.
Very good and in depth video. Great job!
Rifled slugs are made to be fired from smooth bore choked barrels, just to clear up any confusion
No they are not! Smooth bore with improved cylinder! Btw remington slugs are a smaller diameter than Winchester or federals. They will not shoot with any consistency thru some barrels!
That looked fun for your shoulder
I know that you put a lot of effort into these videos. Thanks for taking the trouble to make them.
This channel has the only vids I watch 3 and 4 times.....
As usual your videos are awsome, thanks for all your effort. These videos help with making intelligent decisions on ammo choice. I have big black bears in my yard and need deep penetration, I think maybe a solid slug would be a better choice.
Use this round and you'll have holy black bears!!!
Part of me thinks that slug could probably make it through both doors or at least part way into the second, water has a lot of surface tension at that speed, where as doors are kind of thin stamped metal and a plastic door panel. I'd like to see it.
the slug would ABSOLUTELY rip right through both doors, i 100% gaurentee it. he is comparing apples to oranges.. there aren't really any bullets that will go through more than 4-5ft of water, especially with any force. a thin, solid, malleable metal like a car door though? hahahaha, that door hit by this (or any slug) would be like paper to a 9mm.
Nolan Green
A 2 3/4” foster slug goes through both doors of a 74 Cadillac 7 out of 10 shots.
I never heard of you before but I like you. Subscribed. Thanks!
I just absolutely love your videos!!:D
I'd love to see this in slow-motion through transparent gel! - at 2.54 it looks like a fish jumping out of water - awsome!
really fun video. i'd love to see some tests on 12 gauge copper solids (aka sabot slugs). i use hornady and federal copper solids for deer hunting. they hit a 100-150 pound deer so hard they do a barrel roll.
Ive been using this round for close to 10 years for deer hunting and know the devastating results of this round hitting a whitetail deer....
In hunting ive never had a fragmentation but thats at roughly 80-100 yds. The exit wound is roughly 2-3 times the original size of the slug. Ive tried many different rounds and nothing beats the knock down power if the Remington slugger ive found.
Thanks for the great videos sir by the way.
"...I'm not gonna do that"
You are so awesome.
I was actually about to be really upset you shot that car lol
Good video. This probably a good shell for wild boars.
stormtrooper1296 saa weet ^
Excellent video! Informative and entertaining
yes I would say that this load could stop just about anything. Thanks for the AWESOME video.
That's one way to split wood.
Damn it's probably instant death if that hits the abdomen
+darksoul1381 oh yeah. listen, a 12 gauge with a proper load is basically a canon. u can tell that by the force the shotgun hits your shoulder and the thunderous sound.
Or anything...
Probably?
Not instant. My cuzzn got hit up close in the stomach wit a 12 gauge at the age 16. He was out of IcU and home in a week.
ihustle4mine Tv with a 3 inch slug? Doubt it
Nice shotty, man. I have a 590 A1 SPX and it's a beast.
Great vid as always. I used these on deer in my win 1300 rifled barrel. They were very effective.
0:08
Me: "Are you gonna shoot your car?"
Guy: "I'm not gonna do that."
LMAO when that block did a back flip onto the jugs I was in tears. If you used that for home defense they'd only have DNA samples left to identify the perpetrator.
I like you, you know your shit, you take time to take things apart and analyze, and you speak clearly.
I'll subscribe.
Very good video! Very informative and fun!
i was about to say, "Oh! He must not like his jeep, either."
The slugs are doing exactly what Thy are ment to do.
Open up and dump all the energy into the target
These videos show me alot of good stuff men ammo wise. I like watching it at work it teaches me the good about ammo wise and whats reliable good stuff good stuff 😀
Awesome. Thanks for the test. It would be interesting to see how the solid (non hollow) brenekke would perform.
When I saw you aiming at your car I was so excited, then I went "aaaaaaw" out loud when you changed target :'( .
this magnum slug is very powerful. I'm impressed. i take it will tear human flesh to shreds.
Exactly what came into my mind when seeing the inside of that block. it'd be very painful being on the other side of the barrel!
***** lol for real. Idk if you have seen, but there's a video on here of 2 dudes hunting a doe and he uses these, it took 1 shot n the doe dropped instantly n was twitching. He flips it over n the flesh was mangled and left a fuckin huge ass hole (s) in the exit side. Try n look it up
Very well put together video!
YES! thank you so much for making this!!!
am i the only one that thinks that balistic gel looks delicius
youre not the only one...
***** caramel... hmmm.. nom nom nom...
***** Caramel? Noooo that looks strait up like butterscotch pudding. lol
Am I the only one who would love to see you take a bite?
Hi
Thanks. I was wondering how I was going to get those damned bears out of my house.
Good slugs! I used them for 3 seasons and liked them. Went to Lightfields and no regrets.
Honestly I'm watching your video just to listen to your English ...perfect
Did that block of ballistic gel just do the Harlem Shake?

I was like nooooooooo not the XJ

Howdy. Love your videos, I've been watching for years. Any chance you could do a ballistics gel video with 12g "Hevi Shot Hog Wild" 3"? Thanks, keep on keepin' on!
Great show. Thank you.
I would have won that bet.
Most people under shoot at close range at gel blocks.
if the bear is wearing body armor slugs are your best bet.
Show some love. Check out my channel.
12ga 3" shells 00, 000 buck and slugs are my go toos

Thats a fuck ton of energy
1.5 fuck tons to be precise.
Right Meow!. I thought he said 1.8, fuck tons!
Well DONE,as usual.
Very nice shots slug
its not solid or actually rifled...water has a different effect then metal doors but the best car door killer I have seen is the old remington solid copper slugs...the newer ones work also but open up the old ones never opened up so got replaced. Also a home made armor penetrator for car doors is cut off the bottom of a steel CO2 canister for pellet rifles and fill with melted lead...heat the darn steel some first so the hot lead doesn't sputter out on to you from the heat and cold coming together. Myself I cut open .50 BMG rounds and use the armor penetrator and or use the pulled 50 bmg API rounds whole..oh those are on sale at midway usa they ahve different wieghts and lengths in 12 ga so check them all out becuase 3-4 a box is darn good!
Is this the ideal type of round one would need to stop a bear? I don't hunt them, but I sure don't want to be their snack either.
This would absolutely drop any bear.
jimbo111589 Yep. Yessireeebob. it'd drop 'em like a bad habit. I think you could actually use this on dinosaurs. This is exactly what the Alaska State Troopers are issued for use against bears.
20G is plenty for bears if you have slugs.
Mate, I think this would stop Megatron.
Raymond Shay I believe the a Alaskan state troopers use Brenneke slugs not the soft lead that the remington slugger is made out of.
That ballistic gel looks delicious.
can't help but think about handgun caliber power arguments versus what a good old 12 gauge can do. Completely different universe.
