How do rifled slugs compare to frangible slugs on steel targets?

Rifled slugs show much more reactivity on steel targets, causing them to move significantly. Frangible slugs, used earlier in the test, are designed to break apart and offer less visual feedback on impact.

What challenges are encountered when shooting rifled slugs at a dueling tree?

The presenter notes that rifled slugs may require closer engagement distances due to their trajectory and power. Additionally, the firearm needs to be properly zeroed for the specific ammunition to ensure accurate hits on the steel plates.

What is the 'Amazon special' dueling tree mentioned in the video?
