I finally have amassed the necessary components for lead refinement and casting, scored a Marty’s .690 round ball mold for $80 and also got a Lee 18 pellet #00 buck mold on the way. The only other thing I really want at the moment is a tumbler to graphite and polish the buck after casting.

You don’t need graphite man just a tumbler. The graphite will only cause them to be dirty and get your hands black when touching them.

Caveat Emptor still holds true today. Anyone, person, business, manufacturer, that clearly states what they're selling/providing is a LIE, should pay dearly for being deceitful. I hold anything 'Firearm related' to an even higher standard, because when 'They' F*CK AROUND with the quality/performance of anything 2A related, 'They' are literally putting people's LIVES at risk. Thank you for taking the time to make and explain what's going on here.

15 pellet 00 is such a good defensive load.

I’d personally like 18 of a smaller size but this is nice too lol

Great video bud! Do you think you could make a video explaining wad cutting and how it affects bird shot?
@theshotgunscientistsАй бұрын
Might do that

Damn bro, bet you won't forget to push-pull that next time. Push forward with your support hand as hard as you can while keeping steady. Twist/torque the it in your hands like a rag, wringing it while trying to tear it in half, adding even more isometric stabilization.

@@Kinetic.44 what we do for recoil management is take the proper stance, pull forward with your off hand, and just rest the gun on your shoulder not too firmly but secure. Don’t try and fight the recoil, just let the gun do what it wants to do. These 3” loads are nothing compared to stuff we shoot now.

Wish remington still made the 15 pellet 00 nickle plated 3" load.
@Kinetic.44Ай бұрын
Plating does almost nothing, it's so thin like foil... Hard cast alloy is what what you're looking for.

I have never seen those

@@Kinetic.44 The old nickle plated load pattern better in my gun then the new unplated load. Maybe they were made with different internal parts.

@@theshotgunscientists They were the old remington priemere, i think they went out of production in the mid to late 90's.

Sir can you make vidio about how effective damage of 10ga slug shot in range between 200-300 yards? 😅
@theshotgunscientistsАй бұрын
Any shotgun slug would lose most of its energy at those ranges. Not really feasible to do that.
@ridwanshaleh6894Ай бұрын
@@theshotgunscientists so 10ga better in range 150-200 yards?
@theshotgunscientistsАй бұрын
All shotguns are generally 100 yard or closer guns but with modern optics and slugs 200 is possible
