This guide details a comprehensive test of 20 gauge Sabot shotgun slugs, focusing on accuracy at 100 and 200 yards, and terminal performance in ballistic gelatin. The testing, conducted by an expert representing Thompson/Center Arms, utilizes professional equipment like a chronograph and highlights the superior performance of the Federal Trophy Copper slug.
This video presents a detailed ballistic gel test comparing Hornady 30gr V-Max, CCI 30gr V-Max, and Remington 33gr AccuTip .22 WMR ammunition at 50 and 100 yards. The test focuses on penetration depth, permanent wound cavity size, and bullet expansion. The instructor notes that CCI V-Max uses Hornady's V-Max bullet and highlights differences in performance, particularly at longer ranges, attributing some variations to bullet age and tip retention.
This ballistic gel test compares the Federal Speer TNT .22 WMR and Remington AccuTip .22 WMR. The Speer TNT exhibited rapid, explosive expansion with very shallow penetration (under 4 inches), potentially limiting its effectiveness on bone. The AccuTip demonstrated more controlled expansion and significantly deeper penetration (8 inches), making it a more robust option for various applications. The test highlights the distinct performance characteristics of different bullet designs within the same caliber.
This video details an accuracy test of various 12 gauge sabot slugs fired from a 24-inch rifled deer barrel on a Mossberg 500. The instructor meticulously documents group sizes and point of impact shifts for Hornady SST, Winchester Standard Velocity, Remington Copper Solid, and Remington Premier Accu-Tip slugs at approximately 79-80 yards. The results highlight significant variations in accuracy and point of impact between different slug types, even when fired from a rifled barrel.
