This video demonstrates how to transform inexpensive 12 gauge birdshot into a 7/8 ounce handcast lead slug. The process involves melting down birdshot, casting slugs using a mold, and then reloading them into empty shells. The resulting slugs offer significantly reduced recoil compared to standard slugs and birdshot, while maintaining comparable accuracy and terminal performance on cinder blocks.

This experiment demonstrates the dangers and ineffectiveness of attempting to create improvised ammunition by combining blank cartridges with lead projectiles. The test resulted in a catastrophic firearm failure, highlighting why such practices should never be attempted.

This video provides a detailed ASMR-style disassembly of a .410 gauge shotgun shell, revealing its internal components. The creator, demonstrating a subject matter enthusiast's approach, meticulously weighs the lead slug (7.50g) and smokeless powder (0.62g) using precision tools. A burn test of the powder is also conducted, offering insights into its combustion characteristics.

This guide details the methodical disassembly and analysis of a vintage 12-gauge shotgun slug, presented by DROBASHEVICH. It covers the careful extraction of components like the lead slug, felt wad, and square-cut smokeless powder, emphasizing precise weighing and visual inspection. The process highlights the technical expertise and ASMR-focused presentation style of the instructor.

This guide details the custom reloading of 12 Gauge brass shotgun rounds, emphasizing a methodical, ASMR-style approach. It covers shell preparation, precise powder measurement, wadding, projectile insertion, and finishing with wax seals and custom stamps. The process also includes the 3D printing of custom storage cases, showcasing advanced DIY ammunition crafting.

This video details an experiment using improvised 12 Gauge slugs made from fishing weights fired from a Mossberg 500. The host, demonstrating high authority and expertise, conducted ballistic testing on various targets to assess lethality and armor-piercing capabilities. The experiment highlights the potential dangers and effectiveness of such homemade ammunition.

This video from 704 Tactical demonstrates a live-fire test of the Firequest 12 gauge double slug round against a Ford F250 truck. The test reveals that while the double slugs did not penetrate the truck bed's far side, they caused significant deformation and spread upon impact, unlike traditional single slugs. The host, exhibiting high authority and expertise, provides a comparative ballistic analysis, emphasizing safe handling and experimental testing.

This episode of Guns & Gear Season 10 features Ryan Gresham and Mark Redl testing the Aguila MiniShell ammunition for home defense applications. The video highlights the benefits of minishells, including reduced recoil and increased capacity, and showcases their availability in buckshot, lead slug, and birdshot variants.
