Red Dragon 12ga. Slug - A brutalifically effective round

Today we test out another slug, obviously created by a pro machinist but isn't necessarily an expert on creating supersonic projectiles. But it is apparent he has been paying attention of what slugs we've shot work well and applied that to this design.
Big thank you to our Channel members and our Patreon supporters!

Danny imparted all his knowledge and his humour into every TFM episode! In my opinion, Danny could discover a brilliant reason for every unconventional shot! It’s wonderful to know that Jeff and Greg are still using Danny’s shotgun in certain episodes!

I might be economical to develop your own gel recipe. You could probably afford to make several at a time. Some leftover BBQ beef rib bone molded into the gel would be bad to the bone. PS I wrote this before I watched the creamed corn headshot. I guess you got that covered. Welcome to Idaho.

Always appreciate the hard work that goes into both sourcing and loading the shells, the amount of filming and providing personality on camera, as well as the insane amount of hassle that comes with capturing/editing high-speed footage. Y'all stay safe out their in Commifornistan! Edit: Good to hear that OG is doing well and making a good step for him and his family. Texas will always be happy to host the both of y'all, should the occasion arise!

It's always great to see OG as the guest shooter and of course there have been a few imitations but "there can only be one" truly authentic OG finger wiggle . I'm sure OG will make appearances as often as circumstance permits & hopefully the move won't be too stressful . The machinist who donated these slugs certainly pulled out the stops engineering them & that tungsten core just makes even more exotic , well made & well done . I'd say You did a great job of guesstimating the load for those rounds they were pretty accurate compared to some of the creations that have tortured shooters shoulders over the years . Thanks Jeff Thanks OG & Thanks to who ever sent the slugs . Catch You next time . Shoot Straight Stay Safe & Stay Well.
