This video investigates the terminal ballistics of shotgun wads when fired without projectiles. The presenter tests various 12-gauge wads against targets including steel, cardboard, drywall, water jugs, watermelons, and a ballistic dummy head. While most wads showed limited penetration on their own, certain larger wads, particularly the Sterling slug wad, demonstrated surprising effectiveness, causing significant damage to a watermelon and a soda can, and even cracking a ballistic dummy head.

This video provides a detailed breakdown of various 410 shotgun slug ammunition components, including wads, powders, and buffer materials. The presenter examines the construction of slugs from brands like Breni, American Tactical, Sterling, AGC Ammo, Federal, BPS, Remington, Winchester Super-X, and Herder, highlighting differences in wad design, powder type (flake vs. ball), and the use of buffer material. This analysis offers insights into the manufacturing variations within 410 slug ammunition.
