    I wish you guys could get a hold of the "dagny dagger"--- I think its only in 9mm at the moment, but If it were made to be 12 gauge, that would be awesome. It is a armor piercing style dart that is pressed into a plastic slug and its getting 2200 fps out of a 4" 9mm barrel. Very fast. I would love to see it in 12 gauge; maybe you guys could contact them at Atlas-- "dagny dagger", look it up.

My target for these are old satellite dishes painted white with a black dot about the size of a smaller frisbee and usually pretty close groups with a rifled barrel and I did not see anything like the wads tearing up like that. Really weird. A little history that these components were used in the old Hastings slugs the yellow box with the red letters

    Could it have been, despite what the packaging claims, that the shell was just loaded too hot for the plastic wadding to handle? Maybe reducing the load so the slug was traveling between 1000 and 1200 fps would prevent the destruction of the wadding thereby increasing stability and accuracy?
    Just my own thoughts about it but I'm no expert like y'all.

      The most accurate rifled slug for smooth bore that I know of is Federal Tru ball, group depends on the choke, Rifled slugs will group good out of rifled barrels until they clog the rifling with lead. The green slug is full sized non rifled and they did a video on it, seemed to do really well

    Jeff: out of the thousands of rounds you have hand loaded over the years have you had any catastrophic failures that caused damage to the weapon? Not trying to jinx you just curious Sir.

    Guess the 7 feet per second load is the limit for the wad to stay intact...😆 🤣

    Alliant Steel powder needs a very HOT primer. It is designed for the use of steel shot shells. It is an extremely slow burning powder. The wad can't have a crush cavity because that powder needs all the back pressure it can get to ignite the charge. I shoot 7/8 ounce loads of steel at 1850fps. It's been awsome for me!

    Really interesting to see these were so bad for you, I'm also shooting these over longshot with the recommended load data for 2 3/4 and 3" cheddite hulls. 18" barrel with extended rifled choke by Hastings. Of the half dozen slugs I've tested (including dsg, thug slugs, lbc) these hammerhead slugs grouped the best for me. I recovered a few from the 100 yard berm and the sabots looked good and were still attached. Lots of other guys have reported similar results with the hammerheads...obviously something went wrong in your testing...I wonder why yours failed so badly

      I've only tried a few of them in once fired slugger hulls fully rifled 50yd at public range, didn't get great results I thought used hulls may have been the issue, Anyway, I would love to have the brass extreme penetrator fitted to that wad design and actually work right. I have an extended hastings for my 20 in, that would save me from swapping out to that heavy rifled barrel.

    I've loaded rifle and pistol cartridges, but never messed with shotgun so pardon if this is a dumb question- Is it possible the tail piece is just meant to be a stabilizer and needs a separate fiber wad behind it to keep it from disintegrating the way it does in the video?

  • @MikeG-dp3fb

    How are the slugs fitting in the sabot? Are they sliding in easily or do they require a bit of force to get them into the wad. I cast mine from wheel weights, and the fit is quite snug. Fired out of my Ultra Slug Hunter using 800x I am getting very good groups.

    Huh... Unrelated to this video, but on my sidebar I've got the old .22 Phillips Mod video sitting there, and it made me wonder.
    What kind of performance could you get out of a .22 LR or even Magnum with a brass Xtreme Penetrator style round?
    Since they kind of look like a Phillips bit while the old video was cutting into the bullet, so my brain filled the blank.
    For all I know that might already exist, but thought I'd at least say what popped into my head this time.

    I love all the comments attempting to call out how he loaded the shells. Not saying that mistakes aren't present. But, they've been loading shells for years with all sorts of things. My guess is that they changed up their wad to a cheaper material for cost savings and it shows.

    I ordered the 20 gauge ones. And I found they where "better". I think it tares the wad off because when you add the lead into the wad and mic them they're about .015" over bore size and the helps shread the wad I'm sure. Try a different kind of projectile in them. Like a copper coated like jsp or a cowboy round. May be better off. That's what I did and it improved the grouping.

    I wonder, maybe they require additional wadding to isolate them from the gunpowder and hot gases?

  • @Jrez
    @Jrez 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    So does the fact that the wad/sabot or whatever becomes completely shredded mean the designated loads are just way too high? Would be curious to see what it takes to make them fly straight, if at all possible. Either a bit more load, a bit less, a lot more, a lot less, etc. Just gotta wonder if their testing longshot powder was a weak batch or something? Maybe the gun they tested with was also different in some way, slightly oversize barrel or something?

    in the winter if it gets cool enough you should fill the pumpkin with jello i say if it gets cold so it could set up outside instead of in your fridge
