This video explores the limits of 12 gauge shotgun slug weight, testing slugs ranging from a standard 1 ounce to a massive 6100 grain (nearly 14 oz) projectile. The presenter, Scott from Kentucky Ballistics, demonstrates the significant increase in recoil and potential firearm stress with heavier slugs. The experiment involves testing slug penetration through various mediums like water, ballistic gel, and even body armor, while also assessing the durability of different shotguns under extreme pressure.

This video presents a ballistic gel test comparing four types of 12-gauge shotgun slugs: Federal Shorty, Challenger, Aguila Mini Shells, and a standard Wolf 2.75" slug, fired from a Mossberg Maverick 88. The test measures velocity and penetration, revealing significant differences in performance, particularly with the Challenger rounds exhibiting extreme expansion but minimal penetration.
