Did you see him shooting from 100 yards? It was pretty accurate. One thing I thought of was making the front heavier than the back by filling the last half inch with wax, letting it harden, then filling the rest of the shell with shot and wax.I wonder if making some sort of form for the top to make it more bullet-like would improve accuracy.

A lot of people don't like shooting many slugs because of the cost. This is cheap!these are pretty interesting, i ended up watching several videos on them.. but still What's the big deal? go buy some darm slugs! i can see maybe playing with some reloads. but still seems pretty useless to myself.
but thanks for sharing! it's fun seeing other ideas!
I have seen this a few days ago.
I guess it depends what you want to do with your ammo.
For home defense I would never use something home-made because it might not go "bang" like factory ammo will and also because if you ever shoot someone with home-made ammo it's something that could be used against you.
"Look at that freak who made his own ammo because factory stuff was not deadly enough for him".
Using something who says on the box "for law enforcement and home defense use" may be a better option and will make you look more like a "good guy" in front of a jury.
Yup! Did you see him show the bore of that shotgun afterwards?Just had a thought... the wax slug is more efficient because the wax makes a seal on the bore, and no gas blows past it. Wax slugs probably have a greater range than deer slugs simply because of this. It would also protect the inside of the barrel from rust the way the wax on your car does. Nothing like a 300MPH polish followed by a 300 degree bake-on.
I must have missed that! I'll check that out when I get a chance.yea, but he also said that the 6-7" grouping that he got was unusually accurate.
What did you think of my idea?Granted, at 100 yards, anything COM is good with a shot like that, but anything that makes it MORE accurate is better, right? Imagine getting a 1-2" grouping at that range. If I could get them dead accurate at 100yds, I'd never buy anything but a 12ga. and a 9mm. No need for a rifle if you can make your shotgun as accurate with more force.

I just know that most slugs are designed to be heavier in the frontI don't know enough about physics, but I would think that if you weighted it unevenly without reshaping it, you'd wind up having a round that tumbles. Either that or it would fragment due to the uneven consistency.
Just my non-expert opinion.

What are those made of? About what distance did you shoot them from?you can see where the wax slug hit the rest of the holes were from a .22
