Wax Slug: Waxer Shot 🤔🕯

Published on October 8, 2023
Duration: 0:49

This video demonstrates how to create DIY wax slugs by modifying standard birdshot shells with melted wax. The process binds pellets into a single mass, significantly increasing energy transfer and penetration compared to traditional birdshot. Testing shows wax slugs can shatter cinder blocks, unlike birdshot, and can even add a pleasant scent to the shooting range.

Quick Summary

DIY wax slugs are made by filling birdshot shells with melted wax to bind pellets into a single mass. This concentrates energy for increased penetration and impact, allowing them to shatter hard targets like cinder blocks, unlike standard birdshot.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you make a DIY wax slug?

To make a DIY wax slug, cut the crimp off a birdshot shell, melt wax (optionally scented), and pour it over the shot pellets. This binds them together, creating a slug-like projectile.

What is the advantage of using wax slugs?

Wax slugs concentrate the energy of multiple pellets into a single mass, significantly increasing penetration and impact force compared to standard birdshot, making them more effective for certain tasks.

Can wax slugs improve shooting range experience?

Yes, by using scented candles for the wax, you can make the shooting range smell pleasant, like coffee or cocoa, instead of traditional gunpowder fumes.

How effective are wax slugs against hard targets?

Testing shows wax slugs have much higher energy transfer. While birdshot might not break a cinder block, a wax slug can successfully shatter it due to its concentrated impact.
