Those first slugs shot like rifle rounds! Great accuracy, especially at those speeds. I live in KY too, and seeing you guys sit and shoot in those weeds has me checking MYSELF for ticks! Lol!

[@theshotgunscientists]

Ticks are the worst lol

[@grahamohea2424]

After all of the slug holes were in the paper at the end, my first thought was, "That is the most epic buckshot pattern I have ever seen!"

[@theshotgunscientists]

Lol that’s pretty funny

[@ClarkesonTheMarksman]

Good shooting gentlemen, achieved some tight patterns

[@saleembarmania5295]

That is a beautiful shotgun.

[@theshotgunscientists]

Sure is

[@Gunsmith-4570]

More loads with the CB 12S3 wad I caught a sale when I started reloading 12 gauge. Great stuff with the 525 slug.

[@l.a.3887]

Those first loads you all shot where excellent keep up the good work 👍👌💪

[@theshotgunscientists]

Many more on the way lol

[@davidstarke2121]

I've got a lot of loads for the 525 smooth bore and rifled

[@raymondbuie5292]

Great work, keep hammering on those loads until you get some tack drivers. Various combos, speed variations, wads-which seem to be the serious shortfall in shooting all these hollow skirted type slugs. Seems we all do great for a bit then wad failures of one nature or another. Need somebody to come up with a consistent platform for those Lyman 525 gr Sabots

[@mdbbdm7850]

Nice!

[@kennethtephabock5634]

Great job

[@JoeJoe-gm6qf]

You might get slightly better results with the Federal clones made by Downrange Wads. Grafs has them. They don't have the ridges on the petals. Have you ever filled the bases of the slugs with hot glue? Thanks for the content!

[@theshotgunscientists]

Haven’t tried that before

[@glendavis9663]

Cool 👍👍😊

[@harleyironhead7090]

awesome rounds

[@theshotgunscientists]

Thanks man

[@maddog45auto66]

Jim and James, you can send me some free stuff.

[@BigEssy]

Great video, i have some of the 525 slugs on the way. Are you gonna havve a reloading video on rumble for those that you loaded up?

[@theshotgunscientists]

I’ll have to make one

[@BigEssy]

Cool. I know you always say what you put into each round but it's always nice to see exactly how your putting it together.

[@stilespoole6520]

I just seen your videos on the 10 best shotgun shells lol

[@stilespoole6520]

The channels called best guns

[@theshotgunscientists]

Yeah I seen that too, that channel is kind of garbage in my opinion.

[@stilespoole6520]

@@theshotgunscientistshaha I was thanking the same thing

[@AnotherCritic100]

I got a Lyman 525 molds for 12ga. Ive been watching your videos but cant determine - what is your favorite, most accurate load for them?

[@theshotgunscientists]

It depends on if it’s smoothbore or rifled

[@AnotherCritic100]

@@theshotgunscientists Both. I have smoothbore but have heard a rifled choke works well too. So yeah, both with that slug

[@tonygonzales5792]

I have lyman 12 gauge slugs and hodgdon longshot power. I would like to load some low Recoil load. Do you recommend how many grains to use.

[@theshotgunscientists]

28 grains should do it

[@guaporeturns9472]

Have you ever hunted and actually harvested an animal with a firearm?

[@theshotgunscientists]

Yeah plenty why do you ask

[@donaldatkinson7937]

Do you ever run low on 12 gauge hulls?

[@theshotgunscientists]

It would take us years to get through them all lol we’ve got plenty.

[@skidmark7845]

Need to try and sneak some tannerite on your brother and catch his reaction

[@skidmark7845]

I have some tannerite 22 cal. Pellets made by Kvintor (Flash) that explode on impact. Just to put an idea in your head that maybe can be duplicated in a shotgun round

[@user-qp3eb4pm1zfatcatreloading]

Good video guys. I just uploaded a range test to see how some loads cycle threw my RIA VR 60 Check it out.

[@theshotgunscientists]

Sweet sure will
