grendelz 61 Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Has to be the coolest thing I've seen in awhile. Makes me want to pick up a coach gun and try this out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
echoside190 127 Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 A buddy showed me this a while back, turned cheapo walmart value packs into some badass rounds! Shot em at some buckets from my Stoeger and it put a big entry hole and blew the back half of the buckets out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BuffetDestroyer 969 Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 I would be concerned trying that in a pump or auto (while not single feeding). Anyone try it in a Saiga 12? Pretty cool idea for cheap slugs out of a break action, though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty cool idea for cheap slugs out of a break action, though! They have to be fed one at a time manually, if you feed them through a pump or semi auto mag it has play in the shell since the hull is almost cut in half and it'll jam it up.

Azrial 1,091 Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 This is an old school method and of course it works. I was taught this years ago as an emergency procedure at the police academy. On the other hand you will never compete with the accuracy of modern slugs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kdbutler 563 Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Field-expedient slug. Cool deal in a pinch. I saw a similar video a few weeks ago from these guys: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yREUAybGkN8&feature=channel_video_title Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patriot 7,197 Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Wanna guess at what pressures you'll be running? Hint: H I G H. Sure, it may work, but is it worth the risk? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BuffetDestroyer 969 Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Wanna guess at what pressures you'll be running? Hint: H I G H. Sure, it may work, but is it worth the risk? I would imagine the increased diameter would definitely add pressure (due to the plastic hull going down the barrel around the wad). But, I am wondering with cheapo low brass birdshot, since plastic is relatively malleable what the pressure spike would be and how it would compare to magnum loads which often have a higher weight load and a lot more powder. I don't have a reloading manual for shotguns, so I don't really know what pressures they typically operate at. Anyone have any data? But Patriot I agree with both you and Dad2142Dad, not a good idea to do it regularly with the amount of range ammo we (Saiga 12 shooters) are used to putting downrange, but in a pinch when you are out of defense loads... that's another story.

patriot 7,197 Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Agreed, if my ass was on the line, I'd use ANYTHING that would work. That said, if I had the time to ring a shell, then I'd have time to go hide. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dandiesel 16 Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 I wonder if you made two cuts opposite each other that both went just over halfway around.... Maybe it would cycle in a pump action because it would stay more ridgid and still break away when fired. Any one want to try? Personally I feel safer shooting them out of the thicker barrel on my single shot than a pump or auto but, lots a people do it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Deadeye 325 Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 My single shot is a full choke so i think it's a no for me in any of my guns unless that was a last resort. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Azrial 1,091 Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Then there was the old trick of squirting honey into the round with a hypodermic to keep the shot together and make it pattern tighter. That was most used as a way of cheating at the Turkey Shoots! Well Southern Style Turkey Shoots anyway, down here we use a gauge, up North they use a rifle from what I hear.
