This video conducts a ballistic gel test of Winchester and Remington .410 slugs at close range (5 yards). The results indicate that both slugs fragment significantly upon impact, resulting in limited penetration (5-6 inches) and substantial wound cavities. The presenter notes that this performance is likely insufficient for hunting applications at longer ranges and suggests further testing at 40-50 yards to observe potential differences in performance due to reduced velocity.
This video showcases a variety of firearms and ammunition recently stocked at Exile Armory LLC. The presenter highlights new arrivals and restocks, including handguns like the Sig Sauer P365 Macro and Specter Comp, revolvers such as the Taurus Executive Judge and Smith & Wesson 442-1, and rifles like the Ruger M77 Hawkeye and ArmaLite AR-50. Ammunition calibers ranging from .32 Long to 450 Bushmaster are also featured. The presenter also engages viewers by asking for long-range shooting suggestions, specifically mentioning interest in a Q Fix rifle.
This video provides a weekly ammunition update, highlighting current supply levels and prices for various calibers. The speaker, a firearms enthusiast, discusses his recent purchases of .22 Long Rifle, .410 Bore, 20 Gauge slugs, and .45 Colt ammunition, explaining his rationale for stocking up due to potential price increases and supply chain issues. He emphasizes the importance of buying available ammunition when prices are reasonable, even if not immediately needed, to maintain a safety stock.
This video features an expert-level comparison of various 12-gauge shotgun slugs, including the Aguila Mini Slug, Remington Slugger, Tomahawk Mirage, DDupleks Broadhead, Lightfield Boar Buster, and Federal TruBall. The host, a high-level firearms enthusiast, uses a Benelli SuperNova shotgun and specialized testing materials like ballistics gel and bulletproof glass to evaluate slug performance, recoil, and terminal ballistics. The Federal TruBall is identified as the top performer due to its significant wound cavity in ballistics gel.
This guide details a practical test comparing rifled and smooth bore shotgun barrels for slug accuracy, as demonstrated by Matt Carriker of Demolition Ranch. It covers the physics of rifling, testing methodology using 12 Gauge slugs, and analysis of results, concluding that rifled barrels generally offer improved accuracy, especially at distance, though the practical difference may be less pronounced with basic sights at closer ranges.
