I am impressed. HS 6 is what I have loaded for heavy field. It is the old WW540 powder I believe Tyler. You guys groups are 5 Star , it is possible the forcing cone area etc was getting a little fouled on the 100 yard shots but that is really stretching a smooth bore. Nice reloads and a great job.
That’s very good groups in Smoothbore . Also wanted to say yes do some hunting videos with the recent field loads you put together . Say squirrel season comes in and couple good squirrel hunts, or rabbit too. Maybe Josh doing some deer hunting with some slug loads you men put together .
Good video! I like the Thug Slug, but at 75 cents each, I'll stick with pouring my own. I would put that chrono on a tripod to isolate it from the motion of the table when you fire. It probably affects the readings a bit. I live in KY too, and you're right, it's been hotter than a dog's breath here for the past week!
Are you measuring your groups to the outside of the holes or the centers of the holes? I couldn't tell. They seemed to like that velocity for the mostpart
We normally do outside rings of the holes, we should go off center but some people tell us that’s wrong lol. Can’t win either way but I’m sure you know how that goes too. Thanks for watching man.
@@theshotgunscientists The 12 ga slug shouldn't be hampered because of its large bore size. If you had the exact same grouping with a .22, it would be much tighter if measured it that way.
Looks similar to the gecko competition slug. One of the few slugs I've tried that works well in smooth and rifled barrels. I just haven't been able to find the components to make them.
@@theshotgunscientists Somewhere there were copies of these slugs for sale, the only difference was the red coating. Unfortunately, the stock seemed to be sold out. With the right gunpowder loading, I would hopefully have gotten good results with them.
Supper accurate smooth bore slug.. i wouldn't fix it.. lock that one down in the notebook. I've never been able to catch these available.. They're always sold out and i see why now.
Nice groups. Keep the vids coming. Entertaining and educational
Will do thanks

It is very cool to see stuff from reloading bench to field application.
I am definitely going to buy some of the thug slugs they look to be an outstanding option. Great video
They are yes
Great load and good video as always. Thanks guys
Thanks man
Nice groups! Those slugs look promising 😊
Thanks man
awesome guys! you prolly lost a seal on 1 of those rounds.
I think so because it happened with the ultra slug too. One shot went super high for no reason too.
I got some of these for 410 until I can get and mold to do my own.
Most likely will get the noe Diablo 410 mold here soon.

Ain’t nothing like casting your own man
Have the same roll crimper in 10 gauge. It works great.
I have them in 8 different gauges. Love them.
@@theshotgunscientists I need one for 12 but it's still cheap enough to buy ammo in 12 so I haven't messed the caliber
This type of round is like a hollow point for self defence but for a shotty
It is actually just a hollow point
I’m going to have to get some of those slugs. Dove season is coming up how about some simple 12 ga 2 3/4 7 1/2 shot loads or something like that.
I could do that yeah

I like it! Great video bud!

I don’t think they come separate

Fun video guys thx

Good one for sure. No difference in accuracy with a rifled barrel either.
@@theshotgunscientists that's really rare.. most slugs are barrel picky,, either smooth or rifled..
Are U going to do video how to reload that slug? Thanks
@@helpme7479 we can’t show that on here sadly
Understand.. Thanks Buddy!!@@theshotgunscientists
Thanks guys.
Thanks for watching man
You guys think those would fold crimp in a Nitro 27 even though it's a tapered hull?
@@claytonreed6914 it won’t fit these have a very tight fitting gas seal
I can get the 1 ounce version of these loaded by challanger as their target slug.
Nice
@@theshotgunscientists their around $120 per 100
