12 Gauge Foster Slug in Ballistic Gel
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 сен 2024
- Testing a 12 gauge 1 oz Foster rifled slug (hollow base) in a ballistic gel format at a distance of 20 feet. Using SIM-TEST Ballistic Testing Media that has been recalibrated to match the properties of 10% ordinance gelatin. Brief review pre-shot followed by evaluation of the tested media. Test gun is the Mossberg 590A1 Special Purpose shotgun, 20" barrel.
With a muzzle velocity of 1600 fps, this 1 ounce (437.5 grains) piece of lead is packing 2484 ft lbs of energy at the muzzle. We could see a 50 lb block of gel go airborne!

You should change the colour of the gel. There were many parts throughout this video that I couldn’t tell if I was watching ballistic tests or a doctor inspecting some unfortunate souls anus.
It truly was an unfortunate soul's anus, but let's keep this revelation between only you and I.
There are sporadic Clear Ballistics gel videos from 2012-2016, then exclusively clear gel in 2019 and hopefully from this point forward.
tnoutdoors9 I’m slowly going through your videos and I must say, you do a fantastic job, so thank you for that!
I am looking forward to catching up to the transition to clear gel videos
Cheers from Aus 👍🏻🇦🇺
thought it was a vagina
not anus...but got only a 'C' in biology

This shows the beauty of this round. It doesn't over penetrate but rather dumps all of it's energy into the target while breaking apart and creating a huge wound channel. Nothing, neither man nor beast, could survive a hit from this.
What about a terminator though?
Trying to determine whether a 12 gauge or 30-06 is best
Unfortunately my gun shops do not sell plasma rifles in the 40 kilowatt range 😕
@@iamwhoimnotimnotwhoiam4431 dude even terminators use 12 ga and it's a lever action! Lol
Those shotgun slugs saved many of lives in early Safaris.
If it doesn't stop with a 1 oz rifled slug its not alive. Its Supernatural. That is purely the definition of CARNAGE.
You think a 1 oz 12 ga slug is bad, you ought to see what a 1 3/8 oz 3 1/2 inch slug fired from a Mossberg 835 ulti-mag can do to both the target, and your shoulder...
That's the 4 bore's title
I be a whale could take it. Must be supernatural.
One shot and kiss your ass gbye
Winchester defender segmented rounds are designed to do the 3 part split carnage every time.
I know this is an old video, but this is a great video that shows exactly why the 12ga is the ultimate in home defense weapons, if you load 5 to 9 slugs there's no gang of home invaders that wouldn't flee after the first one or two are dropped like a sack of potatoes, the 12ga slug is a serious man stopper, if you hit anywhere nearby center mass there's no way an invader could continue to threaten you or your loved ones. Only a 50cal. compares to the massive destruction of the 12ga slug.
Thank you just the info I was looking for.
I had a Mossberg bolt action 12 gauge with a rifled barrel. Shot a deer once as the sun was setting with a Coppersolid 3 inch magnum slug. I literally saw daylight through him. Before that, I though seein daylight through a man was just a western movie expression. After that, I had a newfound respect for the 12 gauge slug. It dropped that buck like it was pole axed, and the buck weighed in at 185 pounds, field dressed. That's what I like. A nice clean harvest.
Foster slug. Greatest invention since the 30.06.
... and that's why you don't break into people's homes, kids.
+Patriots Fan What state do you live in? A shotgun is rather large for a car and pistol grip only shotguns suck.
I keep a full sized 18+1 round 9mm in my car. A Shotgun is ok for home defence but anything happening out in public is going to be more unpredictable. Could be close or far range, you could be sitting in your car or out of your car. I could be one or a group of assailants. You want to have something fast, small, low recoil, and that can be used at a wide range of distances. I chose 9mm because of the ammo capacity, the higher velocity, the more manageable recoil, and of course the cheap cost per round makes it easy to visit the range more frequently and become a great shot with you handgun. So I'd stick with a full sized 9 police and military around the world carry it for a reason.
You don't want to be using slugs for home defence. Too much risk of over over penetration
Yeah no doubt you would not want a tag on your toe labeled Jon Doe!!》☆《[>♤

That slug would bring down a cave troll.

There isn't anything that walks or crawls that can't be brought down by a 12 gauge slug.
Indifferent Centrist the way that broke up and only penetrated 12" in bare gel there's a LOT that wouldn't bring down. I'll guarantee you a shoulder shot in a big grizzly wouldn't be effective as well as almost all large African game like cape buffalo. You need a hard round that penetrates several feet and can crush through bone.
Funny you say that. I’m writing a fantasy universe set in a 1900-1920’s setting and want to learn the power of a solid slug because of a police officer who regularly has to combat Non-Human criminals like Orcs and Griffons and the like. He has to use ammo like this in order to down more resilient criminals.
I carry these rounds on duty. I had no idea it would pack such a punch like shown in the above video. Its always good to know what your weapon/round is capable of; and you gave a great demonstration on both accounts. Thanks!
Packs a punch in your shoulder too. Shees.
Summary: do not get shot by this.
Dont get shot by anything lol
Thousands of years ago you'd shoot the children of your enemy with this then fuck the hole it left behind, and in terms of biology we haven't changed a bit since then. #JustSaying
@@jhanks2012 What in god's name are you on about??
Lee Ham yea I think he’s on a watchlist now XD
DITTO! You took the words right out of my mouth. A 12 ga. shotgun is an entire weapon system if you configure it correctly. You can have several different barrels (if your gun allows interchangeable barrels), many different chokes, and a multitude of different size and types of ammunition. You can use it on everything from squirrels to bears!
Your videos are of the utmost Highest quality and very informative. Your decision to stop making videos is such a loss to the RUclips community , Nonetheless thank you and good luck.
And that's why I love shotguns!
Hate to see you have no more video postings. Always was one of my favorite channels as they were SO educational. Because of yours and Hickock45's videos I bought my first Glock and many more after that. Just wanted to say Thanks!
Love"The gage". I am a former deputy and have been trained to use the shotgun and the M4. I see the benefits of the AR platform but for close in work, slugs and buckshot rules
Lonnie Martinez
A friend of mine took a slug high in the shoulder and lived, it penetrated just along his best straps and acted like packing, kept him from bleeding out
If i may ask did you or someone in your department ever used a 12ga slug on a suspect? If so did the 12ga rifled slug or 00 buckshot put the sespuct down for good?
@@mdsuave13 #4 buck is what the FBI recommends. With good quality loads it will penetrate just over the 12" mark that they like.
You were never a deputy or in any type of law enforcement ...
You are so full of it !!!!! Now go hide somewhere and cry holding your plastic badge and plastic shotgun and remember you will always be mommy's little deputy.
Things to do in life: Never get shot by a slug xD
Or just never get shot
Drink water
Kyle Clark Never get shot period. My friend I grew up with got shot in the ass with a 12 gauge shotgun in the City of Chicago where I was born and raised back in the 90’s. It was buck shots. I don’t know how he survived that at all. We laughed about it but he ended up getting killed but this time he got shot with a 44 magnum. Chicago wasn’t a joke back when I was growing up.
Well...you could get shot by a slug if you wanted to. Only once though.
Penetration wasn't too much but cavity was insane. In a pinch, I think they're perfectly fine for home defense.
You should purchase some Winchester PDX segmented slugs . They dump a massive amount of energy while breaking up . Or the PDX 1 1 Ounce slug with 3 00 buck either in front or behind .
It would literally blown up an adult human's guts.
Best choice for social work.
A 12 gauge shotgun loaded with slugs can come in hany if you're camping or hiking in or near bear country.
I'd rather solids like the brenneke type slugs than a softer expanding foster type.
A solid will out penetrate a hollow base, and continue through a bear, which can break rear hip and leg bones.
But really, anything is better than nothing if you hit the right spot.
Or if ya run into a oissed off sasquatch lol
or Chicago
This is the ammo I keep around for...um.....two legged critters.
I like to think of it as "social pollution control"!😊
Thanks dude! I was having a bad day, but then I saw this video and I smiled so big it made my day. I am still giggling like a little kid at the way that block jumped off the table. Very impressive! Thanks again!
I can't imagine even a large bear surviving a hand-sized 2-foot long channel blasted out of its guts.
I have personally seen grizzlies soak up 1/2 dozen of these and run off!!
"We have a 40 pound bag of dry cemen....t" oh thank god
lol I thought the same thing
Ahhh man you nasty
Matt Jones you nasty 40 pound turd.
Grishjärta lol that’s what i thought he was about to say
A whole new meaning to the term "powdered milk"..
Impressive, intimidating results. While I might use 00 buckshot for home defense, the incredible energy transfer of these slugs is certainly worth considering for longer distances.
00 buck for home defense is serious overkill AND over penetration but to each their own
@@c.h.u.d most shotgun rounds and pistol rounds will over-penetrate more than your average 5.56
I never realized they were hollow in the back. It's essentially a .69 caliber rifled Minié ball
1 of the reasons it is hollow is that it makes it travel nose first. Being that it is heavier on the solid end.
.729! Technically 73 caliber!
Hollow base also to fill the bore that extra millimeter
I shoot a .54 caliber ball with a .15" patch in my black powder rifle. It kills 200 lb deer at out to 100 yards. And I haven't missed yet.
@Yuck Foutube oh my God!!!. Why ain't this channel making anymore video's? I was wondering why ain't I been getting anymore upload's.
Just what I was thinking 🤔
I was not surprised with this slug remaining inside the gel block. I was at an autopsy of a guy that was shot from five feet with a 18" barrel length .12 gauge Winchester 2 3/4" lead Foster type slug. The deceased was in the middle of delivering a right handed punch when he was hit. The shot was 5" below left nipple and fired at about a 25 to 30 degree angle. The slug shredded the right side of the heart and came to rest in a almost "U" shape resting on the spinal column. The dead guy weighted about 250 LBS. and was tall and muscular. If that slug would have missed the spine I think it may have exited the body but with very little energy left. On the other hand it seems to me that if soft tissue is not struck the slug will penetrate multiple walls with no problem.
JavPaul Settmr yikes
in summary: 1oz 12 ga slug blows fist sized hole through bad guy
twice
Honestly I think this would be great for sd/hd. Not only is the damage massive but in more than one test I've seen of this super x hollow pt slug, it doesn't over penetrate..It didn't go any farther than most handgun rounds tend to travel. Really this is an awesome round for just about any scenario whether it be hunting, home defense, or self defense. I wouldn't think twice about loading these foster slugs in a 12 gauge. Buck shot isn't all that impressive to me, don't get me wrong 00 buck will do the job just fine, but ballistically this is amazing.
I wouldn't use it. It's great for self defense if you live in the country and your next door neighbor is about 50-100 yards away from you. But in a dense urban environment, it would be a liability nightmare. You have to think about what happens if you miss. Where is that slug gonna travel and where is it gonna hit? Or if the slug passes right through the perp.
@@vxy357 where would 9 pellets of buckshot travel to if you miss?
@@ProfessionalPepper EXACTLY my point. For indoor use, I'd use heavy birdshot.
I love watching the expansion,shrapnel(fragments) and all of that on ballistic gel ! Thanks for my dose of shrapnel !
That was just a brutal display of power. I will choose that all day over an AR. Cheap, accurate, powerful and easy to buy. Hickok45 has a video where he drug an old particle board desk like you get from IKEA and set it up like 250 yards away. With a smoothbore and 1 oz slug he was putting shot after shot in a 2 foot circle. Most of them were even tighter than that. No scope, just the iron sites that come stock. That showed me the accuracy, this showed me the power. Crazy good show.
Now I see why Alaskan guides feel confident with slugs for Grizzly defense.
Overly confident. It will take a number of slugs. So dont bring a duck hunting shotgun.
@Bo Zo i live in alaska. You want to have atleast 6 rounds in your shotgun. That or be really good at reloading that bird gun you got.
@Bo Zo if you where a hunter, you would know what i mean by a duck rifle. A shotgun is technically speaking a rifle. When duck hunting you cannot be able to load more than 3 shotgun shells into your gun at a time. That is what i mean by a duck gun, or duck rifle. Criminy.
@Bo Zo good work bo zo another person trolled. Add it to your records.
@Nate C do you hunt duck?
So much for that theory that ballistic pressure wave/temporary cavity can't do permanent damage below 2,000fps!
“That’ll put a hole in the side of a truck if you wanted it to” - Dave Chappelle
Awesome video, thank you. I am new to hunting (2nd year on public land only) and I was absolutely blown away by the results on whitetail. Good shot placement didn't ruin any meat but absolutely dropped my deer. If you are hunting public land and a deer running off could end up on posted private land in almost any direction, it is really nice to know that a very accessible load like this will make for a fast and simple recovery. This was especially convenient since the area is heavily populated with coyotes and waiting to get permission to access private land could reduce the chances of harvesting any meat.

An excellent study and follow up!
Sure puts deer down like the "Hammer of Thor".
For home defense... 00 buckshot is my personal choice.
I've always leaned toward 1 1/4 oz. 3 inch magnum slugs in my 12 gauge shotgun. I can tell you this, shooting jello doesn't come close to demonstrating the true destructive power of the 12 gauge slug in live tissue... not by a long shot! Your test was interesting and did offer some insight into why a 12 ga. slug is so effective... Thanks for posting!
Best example of Force equals mass times acceleration I have seen in years. Dramatic energy dump into the block and dead center on the hit. I have used PBX slug plus pellets as a defensive load in a 12 gauge but had to admit a single slug energy dump was greater than I imagined.
My 12 gauge Home Defense load is number 4 Buckshot Federal Hydra-Shok backed up with Hornady Critical Defense 00buck
That gel looks delicious.
interesting way to describe ballistic gel...

@@blakebrodeur3267 No dude, you're just high off your own ball sweat. I think the gel looks like caramel fudge.
Nice job sir as always...! Keep up the good work and thanks for the information
You left out: Mess somebody up pretty badly if they come in your house in the middle of the night. Love you videos! Thanks for your considerable amount of work for shooting, editing and posting them.
I have shot a LOT of foster slugs, love em...but never got the chance to shoot ballistic gel with them...that was awesome...damn near jumped off the table ! I did get to test into a water tank ( Ok, it was a swimming pool ) , the slugs did not come apart...but flattened like pancakes. Great video, definitely one of the best content creators on RUclips.
That's why I love 12 gauge slugs! I've destroyed plenty of deer with these
Yes, it's all I hunt with. Never had to chase any, for sure.
@Facts hunt feral hogs.
With the same slugs in my KSG I can hit a 12" gong at 150 yards with no problem. I'm going to try 200 yards next.
uswd to love shooting slugs at 100 yards with a short blacknhome def remmy 870. had a single glass type red dot on it. 4-6" groups all day long. good fun. shoulder didnt think so... but ehh who cares lol.
That ballistic Gel knows some karate, already breaking boards and Stuff haha
I just purchased my new Remington 870 express with a rifled slugger barrel. I brought it to the range today with the same ammo in this video and its amazing! Great ammo, great gun.
+Thomas Jervis do not shoot rifled slugs with a rifled barrel you need to buy sabot slugs you will ruin the rifling in the gun if you shoot rifled slugs
+Thomas Jervis Your not supposed to use rifled slugs in a rifled barrel, you can damage your gun, as funny as that sounds. You want "sabot" slugs.
Matt Jones thanks for the advice man. Still working great with no damage. Imma see how it goes haha. Have a good day bro.
Thomas Jervis lol no problem. You have a good day as well!
As with all your vids, your straightforward manner makes for interesting commentary on the subject at hand. What a devastating round! Thanks for sharing.
The hole through the 4 inch post is impessive .i love12 gauge shotguns and for home defence .
would be great if you did some of these 12-gauge slugs in clear ballistics gel
Billy Bates Jr is
That was a good test , congratulations it was very smart and educational for the correct use of firearms
Thank you for the video. Simple, informative, not too much talking. Thank you for posting
According to Marshall and Sanow in the 70s and 80s, their report was that in all police shootings recorded the foster slug was the only round that produced 100 percent 1 shot stops in gunfights. Very impressive for just a simple chunk of lead.
I see everybody shooting cinder blocks and claiming yeah it will destroy it if you shoot it, but in real life concrete is poured into those holes and you gotta need a helluva' lot more firepower to get through that.
Still love love love slugs :)
Good point. Sounds like a video idea for Foster slugs vs. Brenneke, 7.62x54r, etc.
***** please do! Still nothing is more awesome than a slug when it comes to shotgun, for home defense to me is king, single shot and the perp is done. That and the chance to double tap from my Benelli M4. :)
That's true man... Look up .50 beowulf
hothsurvivor I know the round, now that is some serious bullet!
Oh yea! Benelli makes a great shotgun. Especially the M4 super 90
Still (and always was) a very deadly round for hunting, law enforcement and military use historically. Lots of big game taken with the simple "Foster" load/slug. Life need not be complicated....

I really like the videos this Gentleman produces. They are high quality,informative and entertaining.
Fantastic impact on that gel. I recently had a Deputy ask me to use my Coach gun and two military slugs to put down humanely a deer with a broken back and pelvis in a lot of pain. I put one in the skull and one in the heart/lung to end it as fast as possible at that point and its last breath was in seconds. A 40 shot twice in the head bounced around the bone at 9 feet and was not putting it out fast enough. I now carry a box of slugs just in case. He was almost out of slugs in his cruiser.

My favorite CQC weapon, especially for home defense is the 12 GA with slugs and buckshot
The block should be transparent.
DrBreezeAir it was the wrong “flesh-like” recipe
Jiggly boi
I was thinking the same thing.
At 2:05 I thought he said "we have a 40 pound bag of dry semen." lol.
🤣😂🤣😂
Dam that explains why the boars fall soo fast afther being shot with this.
I have been a shotgun enthusiast since 15. When I went to Beirut, I took along an 870 Remmie and an entire backpack of 00 and slugs. I can attest to what happens when a slug meets the human body, wholly because I grabbed the wrong ammo pouch.
People who say these are not good for home defense aren't totally accurate. They're GREAT for stopping a bad guy. Problem is, with the energy (usually above 2200 ftlbs under 10 yards or more) the round carries, it's not stopping unless, like this one, it fragments (haven't seen that happen). Which means after it removes Mr. Bad Guy from the Problem Column and deposits him in the Clean Up Column, it's also going to ruin some walls, furniture, etc.
I've never wanted nor own an AR. A shotgun, of whichever manufacture you prefer, at ranges at which most engagements will happen, is far superior. What it hits is going down. At 100 yards, it's still carrying over 750 ftlbs of energy and weighs an ounce.
For fun, my buddy had a nearly dead Chevy Cavalier with a 2.4 LD-9 engine. We started it up, I positioned myself about 25 yards away with a rifled slug and let rip. Two rounds later; dead engine.
I now use a slightly modified ATI Bulldog and I can reach out and smack targets at 150 yards using a Red-Dot only (we Marines use iron sights at 500 yards) and can shoot 5-rd 5" groupings offhand, from a smooth-bore.
If I'm not slugging it out, I use 000 buck and that's effective at over 50 yards, but I use it under 40 and with a full choke it holds single shot patterns under 5" at 35 yards.
Like the BRCC guys say "Life is cyclic...and get a shotgun." :D
Stay safe. Great demo'!!
#progressiveshooter
Out to 230 yds...just watch Hickock45
Harry Kuheim I just watched that video, a couple of days ago. That man is a marksman!!! I would do good to shoot that group from 100 yards. I'm always impressed with his shooting, but that was crazy good...
@@jamiesloan5902 Yea Hickock is not normal. Normal shooters can shoot slugs 230 yards lol. Hell I would be jumping for joy if I hit 75 yards!
It was 290 yards, HICKOK45 shooting the slugs and hit every single shot I believe. Thats far af. And penetrated through the board and barrel he was shooting at.... Nuts
A little practice is all it takes, Remington sluggers is what I prefer.. 70-80 yds shots are impressively accurate, even 100 but they do start dropping pretty fast past 100 yds..1oz for 12ga & 1/2 oz for 20ga, all I use for hunting!
I live in Britain. I have a 12ftlbs air rifle.
I once killed a gopher with a stick.
A Nihtgenga 😭😭😭
If I was in England I would keep a bow on me.
As my father is saying, if a game cannot be put down with a slug, don't go after him
That's the beautiful thing about it. If you have a pump you can easily cycle the blank out if he's a threat. You're right, either way a fight could break out. But with a blank it's far less likely to. You could also do what one of my friends does and run rubber buckshot first and then lethal rounds afterwards. If he's hit by the rubber buckshot he will think he's been shot and will almost always run.
these have got to be the most epic slow mo's on youtube!
2:04 "And a surprise, at the very back, we have a 40 pound bag with dry semen" wait no, thats just wrong.
You had mentioned that you use some other stuff for home defense, can you tell me what is pleasE?
A slug will put an intruder down and leave quite a mess to clean up, but keep in mind those things travel a ways before they're done. 00 buck won't travel through three walls and risk hitting someone else you don't want to.
@@thevoice421 yes it will. Paul Harrell has a video proving this beyond a doubt.
I thought it was dry semen
Its not?
These conventional Foster style rifled slugs have a reputation of being very soft and fragmenting in various ways when used on deer sized animals. They do however work well. They don't penetrate barriers or larger denser game animals as well as the harder alloy Brenneke slugs do. Just select the slug according to what you need to achieve.
These videos never get old
I've shot enough deer with one to know they are effective
All that an still can't go through a 5 pound gummy bear
Actyaly shotgun slug had mutch less penetration than rifle in 308 or even AK .
toniiii9 True!! but the 12ga slug will have a MUCH bigger wound cavity with the less penetration!!! These slug will make it to vitals in any game in north America!! Here in MA we can't use rifles and are very fond of the rifled slug for deer hunting. I've killed stock piles of deer with these same slugs!!
I'm surprised mama youtube still allows this video to be shown to her poor little babies. Guns r bad mmmkay? lol
I love the high tech backup and last resort. 👍😁
This is why I stagger 00 buck and slugs in my bedside 870. Very nicely done video with great information.
invest in clear gel
+Shawn DeGonia Yea that brown stuff sucks. I want to be able to see the cavity like clear gel. In all fairness. He did state that the brown stuff is all he could find at the time.
+Matt Jones he did and I'll give him credit for trying honestly it would save him a lot of time and effort at the end of the videos not having to rip the blocks apart that's one of the main reasons I suggested clear gel the other like you said I want to see what the slug does before the block is cut open
The late Jimmy Cirillo, NYPD retired Stake Out Unit member stated that when a perp was struck in the chest with a 1 oz. Foster Rifled Slug the shock was so great that, “They forgot why they were there and all perps who were hit were instantly neutralized and killed except for one who was hit in the chest, escaped and was later was arrested at the hospital.” One of my first assignments at the Firearms Training Division at FLETC was to shoot different handgun rounds and a 12 ga. Rifled Slug into a water recovery tank. Each projectile was recovered after each test shot. The Foster 12 ga. Slug was very interesting. The nose was not deformed, but the skirt had simply caught up with the nose. The recovered projectile looked like a silver dollar.
I used to live in a shotgun only area. I have a 12 gauge single shot H&R made in the 30's that I silver soldered a scope rail on the barrel(Older barrels are thick enough to do this). With Federal slugs I get one ragged hole at 50 yards with 3 shots. I did shoot a deer at about 75 yards once, and it hit where I aimed, but am sure the group opens up some at that distance. I have killed quite a few deer with it. Even hits in soft areas(Lungs) really do a job.
they are havoc on coyotes too !! in good ole iowa that's all we could hunt deer with... they got the job done quite nicely !!
you captured the sound of that shotgun beautifully
...very thorough and satisfying presentation...professional commentary and analysis...please do 30/30 Winchester and .308 comparison sometime...THNX
Only cavity that ever made me go "ouch" I wouldnt want to get hit with any projectile. But a slug... Just unbelievable.
At the time of this comment there were 63 people that disliked this video, I guess thats 63 people that would rather die than defend their family.....oh well. Another great video Tnoutdoors, nobody else shows me what I like to see, please keep them coming
Got me a double barrel, 10 gauge next to my bed...sawed off......... Love that weapon... why I sleep with it........
A man among mem
The slow mo jiggle was awesome
A few years back ; we developed a 12 gauge ball round ; that spins backwards at the same angular speed ' as the forward speed of the round. Inside contains a solid core of depleted uranium. The calculated energy is double of a standard slug round traveling at the same speed and same weight.
Is only available to trusted friends of ours...
I love slug shot shells, my AR Twelve Semiauto Panzer shotgun mainlines slug, it's basically a marksman rifle disguised as a shotty.
Shortly after entering on duty at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center I was asked if I would undertake a ballistics test with a variety of different ammunition. The center had constructed a 10 - 12” diameter stainless steel tube a out of stainless steel that was about 12 feet long mounted vertically with a cat walk around the out side at about the 8 foot level for the shooter. A number of different handgun rounds were tested, but the most interesting by far was the 12 gauge rifled slug. When the rifled slug was recovered I was stunned. The little star on the nose was undamaged, but the skirt from the hollow base had continued forward upon impact with the water, causing the recovered shape to be like a silver dollar with the diameter greater than one inch!
No, you have that backwards. It is the hollow rear and weight forward
design of the foster slug that stabilizes it in flight, just like a shuttlecock. The rifling is there to allow the slug to go through tight
chokes and decrease friction in the gun barrel.
It's the best retrieve way to make a shots fired call.
