This video presents a ballistic gel test of a Barnaul .410 3-inch slug.

The slug exhibited excellent weight retention, even exceeding its advertised weight, and a substantial expansion diameter.

This video provides a detailed ballistic gel test of Brenneke 3-inch Magnum .410 slugs. The instructor, with apparent experience in ballistics testing, evaluates penetration, wound cavity creation, and velocity from two different barrel lengths. The results are compared to previous tests of Winchester and Remington slugs, highlighting the Brenneke's significant wound channel despite velocities falling short of advertised specifications.

The Stoeger M3K is presented as an excellent entry-level shotgun for 3-Gun competition. It features enhancements like an extended safety, beveled loading port for easier quad/dual loading, an extended bolt handle, and an enlarged bolt release. The 24-inch barrel offers a balance of maneuverability and ballistic performance, complemented by interchangeable chokes. While the stock magazine capacity might require an upgrade for competitive needs (aiming for 9+1 rounds), its MSRP of $699 makes it a highly competitive option.
