      Looks like the cases that hold the shot are too tough. Maybe score the front end a bit with a razor knife. Instead of just holding the shot in place the entire thing is a projectile.

    Shotshells 3d printed with TPU are the way to go in the Zeus. Make the base 4mm thick and walls as thin as your printer can make them. and it will rip open upon firing and pattern very nicely with a choke

    Although they may not open, when a projectile like that does tremendous damage on "mushy" targets. Think in terms of a wax slug from a powder burner

    I'm really surprised by this as well...after much discussion with Jim@TPP I went with the 710 as we thought anything under 7 might put too much strain in the barrel, but...looks like I might be getting a 68 turk after next weeks content...Thanks as always for being the guinea pig on this stuff! Range day still a ways out, can't get enough of this!

    For centuries, 40 yards has been the established distance for pattern testing shotguns. Frankly, it’s the optimum range for a full-choked shotgun, where plus or minus 75 percent of the shot charge should strike within a 30" circle.

  • @DrSaminstine
    @DrSaminstine Před 4 měsíci +5

    The choke is to close up the pattern. Full choke is the smallest improved is slightly bigger spread and unchoke is the largest pattern.

    • @DrSaminstine
      @DrSaminstine Před 4 měsíci +1

      Lol turkey is the tightest group. That projectile is acting like a slug at 25 and the spread should be about 6-8 inches at that range depending on shot size with a modified. Expect 1-2 inch hole at Turkey. Have you thought about buck shot instead of bb. 6-8 balls would do it depending on size. I might be interested in one of those barrels when that gets worked out!!

      @@macabespeed I would try scoring the shot projectile down the sides or something so that it comes apart when it leaves the barrel. Oddly enough it would probably work better with a rifled barrel bc the spinning would pull it apart outside the barrel.

  • @Boom.Strike
    @Boom.Strike Před 4 měsíci

    I would suggest a printed shell, either made fragile or a plunger style so the shot exists the shell freely in the barrel. The printed ones i made for my Seneca Wing "CAP" Shot work perfectly .yes the choke can and does help break up the shell if it doesn't break up in barrel.

  • @edwardmyirski7964
    @edwardmyirski7964 Před 4 měsíci

    With the rifled barrel, you had centrifugal force helping the case open. Which you loose with a smooth bore. You may need to score the cases lengthwise to promote petaling like a typical wad would do. Or try a rifled choke on the smooth bore, or a full choke on the rifled barrel

    load it like a black powder shotgun. felt wad top and bottom. Because the shot needs to be contained, using an enclosed capsule will always cause issues.
    Also its a lot more fun to load it like a black powder shotgun.

    I am so confused... are we talking SLUG or SHOT? Because why would a slug open up (I am asking, because I don't shoot shotgun so I don't know)? As far as shot is concerned, doesn't a tighter choke make the pattern tighter?

  • @joegreen6417
    @joegreen6417 Před 4 měsíci

    I think you need a bigger choke not smaller and the shells may need some kind of wad to help them open up

  • @DrSaminstine
    @DrSaminstine Před 4 měsíci +3

    Your going the wrong way Mac! Take it from a bird hunter. I have been optimizing the spread for the birds since I was 12. The improved cylinders are a medium spread so the carrier might be the issue. Be careful if you choke it more! I have seen a shotgun peel back a barrel like a banana when a full choke was accidentally used with slugs.

    • @DrSaminstine
      @DrSaminstine Před 4 měsíci +1

      Try cutting a x on the front of the shot shell enough to see through then try. It might be too tough for the lower fpe to break on exit so a bit of help might be needed.

    @GertTown Před 4 měsíci +1

    I don't see how a choke could make it open. Chokes make it tighter in increments according to what choke you use. It would have to be more of a sabot to open than a solid shotshell

    • @GertTown
      @GertTown Před 4 měsíci

      @@macabespeed I think it's the shotshell not the choke. In a shotgun the shot cup opens almost immediately. It's flexible to go thru the choke but the front is open with cuts down the sides so as soon as it exits the choke it opens immediately.

  • @rjakiel73

    Apparently you do not understand what a choke does. A choke, like its' name, chokes a barrel diameter DOWN closing the pattern and making it tighter. Take the choke off completely and see how it patterns. If it doesn't pattern and is just one big wad its an ammon problem not a gun or choke problem.
