  1. didn’t some one make a copper one ? here in the states I mean.
    or you could take a 3/8 drill to the old style lead ones,
    back when we still had C-rats, some guys would take the “juice’ from ham slices with juice and heat it up and pour over the buckshot rounds after pulling the paper
    top wad up or off. they said it held the shot together longer, gave it better range
    I not so sure about that bit.

    • I’ve heard of that being done with candle wax. Supposedly it gives an extra 10-20 yards.

    • I’ve read that you can also score the shell casing just below the bottom of the shot. The casing supposedly holds the shot together until impact. You can supposedly do this with any size shot. I’ve never tried it. There is even a term for it which has vacated my cranial cavity. YMMV

      • The term you’re thinking of is “cut shells”

  2. Ribbed but not for pleasure. I think slug is designed to break apart once impact occurs, causing several paths of bullet wounds inside body. Like a load of buckshot that isn’t dispersed until target is hit.

  3. I’ve got a rifled barrel for my 870 Wingmaster 12 gauge so I use the sabot style 385 grain AccuTip style copper slugs. They claim 1850 fps on the box. 1850 fps X 385 grains = wallop! No real world results to report as yet.

    • I shoot the Hornady “SST” sabot slugs out of my rifled barrel Remington 1100. Those things are devastating to what they hit!

  4. I need to get my armor-piercing and incendiary rounds first, THEN I can concentrate on food for the street-sweeper…

    • well, one could put a harden dowel pin in a lead slug after drilling a
      hole for it to fit into. maybe grind a point on it as well.
      as a kid we used to play around with concrete nails and shotgun shells. there was a old 54 Buick at the club that everyone shot at
      that has a few holes that we did back in the day.
      I think they went in one side and out the other, but I not sure.
      it was a long time ago, late 1960’s
      about the old Buick, story was it would start again, and the owner got so pissed at it that he shot the damn thing a few times and just left it there. by the time we where shooting at it , it already was
      full of holes
