Russian "SHOT-MINI" 12ga Slug - Grenade-like expansion
🕑 Added 2021-04-19 20:06:52 +0000 UTCVery interesting defense slug that behaves like a huge "varmint grenade" when impacting flesh/water/gel. These are pretty new and I haven't found any load data on them. Like many tests, I have to start from scratch and guestimate what velocity they might perform well at. In this test, I think they would have been more accurate at 1200 fps or so instead of 1500. The slugs were cast using Bulletmolds AS-company, mold. They have oddball names for their slugs. I'm sure with more testing, the accuracy can get dialed in. They are accurate-enough at defense ranges.

For a home defense, F'k you in particular round, loading them hot might not be a bad thing, the gelatin targets show how quickly they expand. I'm curious how well a slightly slower version will reach out and touch a target. And congrats to the future parents.

Congrats Breanna and Matthew! Always a good thing when 2A supporters procreate. :-)

That rascal right there might wind up the ultimate home defense load!

Thanks Steve. He sent 10 more with the green wads and this time I'll back off the powder load and try to hit 1200 fps, maybe even less. They made fragment less radically.

Congrats to Brianna and Matthew on the baby expectancy... Cool slug from Psycho Klown. Impressive performance. I'd like a bit more penetration, but all that expansion and fragmentation gives up on penetration. Another fine video from the Central Valley of CA... Steve

Like or dislike= rate. I don't want to tell people to like a video they don't like.
To paraphrase the Marine, that would F you up.
Great job, I am getting ready to start making my own slug loads and casting some as well. 10 gauge, 12 ga and 16 ga. Been loading for over 50 years but mostly metallic cartridges. I have laid in some supply in the last 6 years loading mostly 10 ga. (ponsness-warren) then picked up a mec and a lee load-all. Hardest thing for me is figuring out the shot or load column. It is not so cut and dried as seating or crimping a bullet. But I am getting there, have a small library of books and ,manuals.
Did you say you wanted us to “rate” the video? Is that something other then liking it ? You’re the only channel I follow here on patreon so I’m still not sure how some of it works I’m more then willing to rate your videos or do whatever I can tho.
Dang, That's a heck of a round
Congratulations to the parents to be. That slug was really cool that silly putty got absolutely demolished.
