This video compares the effectiveness of traditional birdshot shells against cut shells (shells with the shot payload exposed) for accuracy and penetration. Testing at 50 meters revealed that while slugs offered tighter groupings, cut shells could also be surprisingly accurate, with some rounds grouping as tightly as slugs. In ballistic gelatin tests, cut shells demonstrated superior penetration and a more devastating effect due to pellet expansion, acting like a 'grenade' on impact.

Quick Summary

Cut shotgun shells can be surprisingly accurate, with some grouping as tightly as slugs at 50 meters. They also offer superior penetration and a more devastating terminal effect compared to birdshot, acting like a 'grenade' upon impact and meeting FBI penetration recommendations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do cut shotgun shells work for accuracy?

Yes, cut shells can be surprisingly accurate. Testing at 50 meters showed that some cut shells grouped as tightly as traditional slugs, indicating they can be a viable option for precision.

How does the penetration of cut shells compare to birdshot?

Cut shells demonstrate significantly better penetration in ballistic gelatin than standard birdshot. They also create a larger cavity upon impact due to pellet expansion, acting like a 'grenade'.

What are the FBI recommendations for self-defense ammunition penetration?

The FBI recommends a minimum of 12 inches of penetration for self-defense ammunition. Cut shells in testing met this standard in ballistic gelatin.

What is the primary advantage of cut shells in terminal ballistics?

The primary advantage of cut shells is their ability to act like a grenade upon impact. The exposed pellets expand dramatically, creating a large wound cavity which is considered more devastating than standard birdshot.
