Skeptics test the FEDERAL FORCE X2 Split Buckshot Rounds

"Don't judge a book by it's cover." That's something we are all taught. In the case of "fancy" ammo, you shouldn't let the illustrations on the box fool you either. There are plenty of companies that want to separate you from your money. We were VERY skeptical about this ammo. Federal's own video for this just used computer generated imagery to show how it worked. The pellets in that video and on the box looked nothing like the pellets in the shells. Every indicator was there to trigger the BS alarm.
We are not sponsored by anyone, including Federal.
Currently, this is only available in 12ga. But I have good news for 20 ga. and 410 owners. 12ga shotguns are pretty cheap.
In this video we test the patterns, test them against different types of medium, including a 16" Clear Ballistics gel which cost $140 and is pretty much contaminated now.

I can’t imagine getting a slot into those plated balls is inexpensive. I’ve worked with lead for almost 20 years as a plumber and it’s a tricky material. It would be a pain to get that slot no matter how you went about it. Casting something that small into it would be very difficult.

[@Gk2003m]

This has functionality. I’ve done it with .68 lead ball using a slingshot. I split them just slightly more than halfway, with perpendicular splits. What it does is to deform as it hits the target. This delivers more energy to target than a solid ball, which has more propensity to bounce off. And yes, it creates cutting surfaces. So instead of denting and then bouncing off a fence post, it deforms and sticks in the fence post. If the 00 shot were cut halfway, it would potentially create more hydroshock as some of those balls open up and expand their impact area within the target.

[@crashstitches79]

I'd guess that the whole ones made it through because having to split the copper plated halves takes energy that couldn't go to penetration anymore. That was a weird way to say that. I imagine it took a lot of trial and error to get that shot to the point where it would reliably split inside a target instead of inside the barrel, buffer obviously helping with that. The ones that didn't split are probably from erring closer to the side of survivability than frangibility.

That gel footage was phenomenal! The way it spit the wad out. I bet they would work better if they looked like the dang picture. After it hits and splits they'll def slow down and go everywhere. Good show!

[@patdavis6383]

Whether or not they split probably depends on their orientation when they hit. if a full side is leading, they may not split, if a split edge is leading, the force of impact will tear the two halves apart. This means that over-penetration comes down to chance. There is a VERY small chance that ALL will over-penetrate or that ALL will be stopped. There is a big chance that some will over-penetrate each time. That makes them unreliable if you are looking for no over-penetration. If they spent some money on the shot and split them like a tennis ball, one part of the split would always be running across the surface impacting the target, guaranteeing a split. Having reviewed the high-speed footage of the Force X2, the standard buck and the fishing shot, my conclusion is ....... I would rather not be shot by any of them thank you very much!

[@taofledermaus]

I was surprised more of them didn't break apart in the gel or the other targets. As far as "reduced" overpenetration, that can make that claim IMHO.

EDIT : HA!! Didn't realize you were gonna say that Those slots in the pellets look exactly like fishing weights

G'day, Correction, Copper Electro-Plated, Split Lead-Shot. ;-p Ciao !

[@philthiac]

After seeing this awesome video, I would love to see if buckshot balls with tiny dimples, like a tiny golf ball, would work well ballistically or if it would be too unstable in flight.

[@Glowingfed]

I just hate when I’m shooting and all my shot slices:/

[@taofledermaus]

It would be hard to compare it to regular shot because the dimpling would change the weight, etc of them.

[@BlackSoap361]

@@taofledermaus depends if you dimpled them with with a hammer and rounded pin or if you actually carved lead off

[@AD270479]

OG said 'stiff meat' & never turned it in to an innuendo? I'm out!

[@crankygunreviews]

Cool! Fishing weight buckshot! The ballistic block was super telling, great penetration, only a few exited. Stuff may be a winner, but man it’s expensive

[@taofledermaus]

What ammo isn't expensive right now? lol

[@crankygunreviews]

@@taofledermaus try making buckshot with hollowpoint .22lr projectiles :)

Hats off O.G for using a quality blade the new Benchmade 940 Auto with green aluminum scales and a purple texture titanium backspacer with a reverse tanto s30v blade

Hemisphere is the correct term for a half of a sphere, though it's usually only used to talk about celestial bodies in day to day language. a semi-sphere could include hemispherical objects but would not be exclusive to half spheres, the same way semi-circles are not all half circles. I want to see you guys reshoot the fishing lead though and see how it patterns in gel and breaks apart. If it's any better and the shot is cheaper, ain't no reason to buy these.

[@thesmallestminorityisthein4045]

So what you're saying is.....that shot shells got a hemi!! :D

I love the sarcasm about the buckshot penetration that was 😂

[@spencerstiles8914]

Split shot sinkers would be cool and cheap too.

[@psykoklown874]

I was thinking they looked like round split shots, just copper plated. I just found this www.bulletweights.com/Products/Fishing-Sinkers/Split-Shot-Reusable It gives the shot size equivalents of the sinkers. I assume that round split shot is the same.

[@taofledermaus]

Oh definitely.

[@jonnohz1]

I live in a tight residential area. This round makes me feel better about home defense without worrying (or worrying less) about a wayward round hurting a neighbor

[@lenorelestrange]

"Stiff meat"? That was the name of my indy joke band back in collage.

[@theearwyrm6105]

Thanks for the video! Picked some up the other day, so I'm glad to see that they work, if not look, as advertised.

[@blackheartgaming6121]

And these shells are my first shotgun rounds I ever bought as well yesterday
