Nice info on your channel man, thank you. I think you have gotten yourself out of the backyard! You definately need a big big backyard for these calibers man!! :)
@@backyardairgunsgot my order in for both 125 and 150 grains for the .357 and the 275 grain Lancer for my .457. Will let you know how they do. Using the big bore Challenger bullpup .357 and the Element Max regulated in .457. Alabama Airgunner
@@bamoore65 I think so. I put in an order on Sunday for the 457 slugs and have not seen any shipping data yet. I have the Elite 457 will be here Thursday. 🙂
ghag sounds nice, if you wish to use solid steel , there is a way, \ for 356 cal you use 11/32" carbon steel ball bearing. and it will ride inside the rifleiing and shoot quite nicely, at velocities above what you would expect since steel is lighter than lead, and it is basically a steel bb for .356cal. you can locate them in a game target with a magnet for removal. smiles. therules for steel are these, if it rolls it will shoot, roll them all first. a thousand rounds carbon steel 11/32" will cost about 53 bucks on ebay. just sayin... the last word
@@backyardairguns oh fo sure that will give penetration, and the weight will help and it being lead will lube the thing being penetrated like metal. bt certain thngs need otheroptions, like a silver penetrater in the middle, or solid metal. for certain things( be careful of steel on steel and it ricochetting back) and in some hollow points a chemical chain can do things like a bit of magnetic ferrite and magnesium powder and phos powder with a small percussion cap on the tip of the hollowpoint to ignite it and burn through stuff melting the lead. or those german snap pops cut open and the crystals put into the hollow and a bb stuck into it for a small pop of an explosion when it hits the target. smiles. the steel penetrater is only the beginning friend.
The 5-shot groups at 50 yards were grouping at about 1.5 inches. This variation was most likely due to the shooter (me :-) ), and Not the slug. This is not a 100-yard benchrest slug, but I think it would be great for big bore hunting rifles.
I couldn't agree with you more buddy I been saying that for 2 years or more now when these airgun been coming out with guns over a hundred foot pounds and more and now basically every airgun can shoot these big ass slugs bullets) and I would always comment to these guys posting there videos bragging about the power it's putting out and I would say to them that they shouldn't be posting that content because eventually your gonna get the wrong viewers watching it and airgunning isn't gonna be the same anymore, everybody is gonna need background checks and registry like real firearms. But they don't listen and believe me it's just a matter of time.
This is why many intelligent people love this channel, you show exactly what these AEA's can do!💥👍👍🏻👍🏿👍🏽👍🏼
Thank you Brain! :-)

Damn that elite kicks! Nice video Mike.
Thanks Dave. It's my most powerful rifle. I'm looking to get the Elite in 457 soon.
I'm going to put in a order once I get home for my .357 Challenger and my .457 Element Max. Will use your code...
That's great. I will order some of the 457 cal later today. Thanks for watching!

Waiting on the ammo. They must be slammed after your video. I've not even got a a shipping noticed. I'm not patient at all.

@@backyardairguns nice. Will be waiting on video...

the last word
Thanks for the info. I like the lead slug because of the weight, but love the steel tip that maximizes penetration.
@@backyardairguns oh fo sure that will give penetration,
and the weight will help and it being lead will lube the thing being penetrated like metal.
bt certain thngs need otheroptions, like a silver penetrater in the middle, or solid metal. for certain things( be careful of steel on steel and it ricochetting back)
and in some hollow points a chemical chain can do things like a bit of magnetic ferrite and magnesium powder and phos powder with a small percussion cap on the tip of the hollowpoint to ignite it and burn through stuff melting the lead.
or those german snap pops cut open and the crystals put into the hollow and a bb stuck into it for a small pop of an explosion when it hits the target.

Impressive power and penetration, but accuracy is nothing to write home about.
And there is NO substitute for bullet placement.
The 5-shot groups at 50 yards were grouping at about 1.5 inches. This variation was most likely due to the shooter (me :-) ), and Not the slug. This is not a 100-yard benchrest slug, but I think it would be great for big bore hunting rifles.
Another step closer for the feds to regulate our hobby .

Exactly right
Only if yall vote
Hmm…not bad but certainly not super accurate and they seem like they would just blow through a deer with minimal energy transfer.
The Alco website has many testimonials from hunters and the game these bullets have taken down. I will be buying more of these. :-)
@toxicmatrix1337 these look like fun.
I just got the 457 Steel Tip slugs in today from Alco Bullets. They look wicked!
