Frequently Asked Questions

What types of 10-gauge ammunition were tested in the video?

The video tested Federal 3.5-inch magnum rifled slugs (1 3/4 oz, 1280 FPS), Federal Premium 10-gauge buckshot (18 pellets 00, 1100 FPS), Winchester Super X birdshot for cut shells, and Federal Premium turkey loads (2 oz, #6 shot, 1300 FPS).

How is a 'cut shell' made for a 10-gauge shotgun?

A 'cut shell' is made by partially cutting the hull of a shotshell. This modification causes the entire top portion of the shell to act as a single projectile upon firing, significantly increasing its destructive power.

What firearms were used to demonstrate the 10-gauge loads?

The primary firearms used were Harrington & Richardson Pardner SB2 single-shot shotguns for initial tests and an Ithaca Mag-10 semi-automatic shotgun for the finale.

What was the purpose of the Pop-Tart test?

The Pop-Tart test was a humorous demonstration to see how many Pop-Tarts a 10-gauge slug could penetrate. The slug mostly skimmed the top, showing its trajectory and power.
