I wonder how the concrete bag would have fared if it had been cured solid. I think the Foster would have punched through through or at least shattered the top. The Seismic would been cataclysmic.

I agree with this statement OG needs to show us what it would do for home defense by the way were are these things available. and thank you ladies, you both were great sports about this

[@Bacteriophagebs]

Plugging the rough numbers into a recoil calculator, assuming an 8-lb shotgun, I got 77 ft-lbs recoil energy. Which is about the same as a typical .22 LR's muzzle energy. For comparison, your typical .308 or .30-06 has just 17-20 ft-lbs recoil energy in an 8-lb gun. A 350-grain bear-slayer load for .45-70+P or .450 Marlin at 2000 fps recoils half as hard as this slug in a 7-lb rifle, with just 37.5 ft-lbs., as does a .338 Lapua Mag firing a 225-gr bullet at 3000 fps in a 9.5-lb rifle. A 500-grain .458 Winchester Mag load at 2100 fps "only" generates about 62 ft-lbs in a 9-lb rifle.

[@That80sGuy1972]

I was worried about the people there when they shot their first target. That impact sound. To me, that's dangerous ricochet noise. I didn't hear the follow-up zip noise that usually follows such danger so I had a "phew". The slug made the boom-loving kid in me smile.

[@jmsbwr]

@@Bacteriophagebs Thanks for the breakdown. I like to compare to .308, as a reference.

[@Bacteriophagebs]

@@jmsbwr Yeah, .308 levels of recoil are the most that most people will tolerate for more than a couple shots. I had a 7mm Rem Mag, which generates about the same recoil (lighter, faster bullets) and it stopped being fun after about 20 rounds. On the other hand, I got a Knoxx Spec-Ops Stock on my shotgun and can shoot slugs all day without feeling it. I recommend it (or a Compstock if you don't want the pistol grip) for pretty much anyone shooting anything heavier than target loads.

Rubber-lined cast steel motor mounts. The engine was basically trashed from running unbalanced, pulled one from a Taurus SHO as a replacement.

This looks brutal. Every time I see these wicked heavy loads I wonder how usable they'd be in a semi-auto 12-gauge with a decent muzzle brake and a beefy gel pad butt stock. If the recoil could be tamed a bit, this may be an impressive load. The rifled barrel worked MUCH better ballistically. The slug is so long, it seems like it'd actually be possible to stabilize it fairly well with rifling. Very obvious improvement. Makes me wonder what kind of accuracy you could get with a more pointed "Spitzer" type tip and a slightly lighter slug as a result.

[@windhelmguard5295]

the heavier round getting kicked up by the muzzle makes sense, the bigger the bullet, the more time passes between the powder igniting and the bullet leaving the barrel, which means more muzzle climb until then. this is why magnum rounds tend to shoot lower than special rounds out of the same revolver, less time in the barrel means it doesn't get kicked up as much.

All powders are high energy if you use enough. There's no such thing as low energy powder, just inadequate load density or suboptimal burn rate. If he used a heavy charge of really slow powder he might get a long pressure pulse, but it also might start burning way too fast and cause a weapon disassembly.

For all the "Magnum addicts" out there, this is an excellent example of the type of power a big heavy bullet pushed at moderate speeds can possess. .303 Savage with 195 gr. bullet or a .375 Winchester with a 250 gr. bullet.

Man, you guys managed to find some girls who actually KNOW not only what a REAL WOMAN is, but how damned strong women can be! Salutations across the board. Decades ago (VN era) I carried a Mil spec Mossberg 590 with 00 buck and I could almost feel the pain of that 2.50z round just by watching:) I sure as hell wouldn't want to fire one unless I was trying to one shot a charging Rhino, Hippo, or mad as hell Bull Elephant:) In the vernacular, these girls got BALLZ!!!.

[@kilojeromesmith4488]

Absolutely great video ladies and gentlemen. I don’t think I’d would of shot it more than once. Can you do a photo of her shoulder two days later? It has to be sore. Thank ya Jeff for all the great content. 😎❤️🇺🇸

[@oldschoolcfi3833]

The look on her face when the target broke... priceless! These would be great for a guide gun, when the hunter misses his shot and a very large, angry animal (boar, water buffalo, T-Rex) is bearing down on you, and you have to stop it NOW.

[@encinio1]

WOW! Very impressive shooting by the sister's. I would definitely use these as anti-material and anti-personnel, as well as large game hunting rounds.

[@dr.burtgummerfan439]

It would be great for home defense. Just in case you need to defend yourself from a home.

[@LatigoRanch]

Missing Danny, but always a pleasure to see Breanna, and nice to meet Jamie!

[@prjndigo]

This one might have been fun with Xyla. Could have made it an acceleration physics question "How much further from the target will Xyla come to rest?" I'm betting that slug would make a mess of an engine block.

[@jamesortiz5388]

The camera field of view was perfect on examining the lead plate @Taufledermous I watched it at x25 speed and savored every frame good job!

[@taofledermaus]

thank you!

[@romeohoteleng]

Thank you so much for covering this ammo. I've been developing a double barrel 12 gauge silencer for the past few years and am in dire need of quiet subsonic loadings. I somehow missed when this video was first uploaded, but keep being awesome!!!

[@JasonWorks-rf1yt]

That sounds like a stroke of genius.. or use noise cancelling headphones technology and rifling for your barrel... Make sure you post research and development vids.

[@romeohoteleng]

@@JasonWorks-rf1yt Unfortunately these slugs were a massive disappointment. Super expensive, very loud, and the recoil was just as bad as it looks in the video. I really doubt they were subsonic like advertised.

[@StandingGoatsRescue]

Wow…I don’t know what to say about this one, that’s an insane projectile to be shooting from the shoulder! Especially when you consider that two women did it….they’re much braver than I’ll ever be! I can’t imagine what they’re shoulder feels like the following day….OUCH! Great job gals! Thank you for bringing us another very interesting slug, you’re always introducing such cool ammo to us! I’m looking forward for your next concoction Jeff! God bless you all!

[@darthkarl99]

Youch, thank you Breanna and Jamie for the shoulders. Would be interesting if some of your viewers who do round production could make some copies out of a strong steel. Be lighter but i bet they'd really go through things.

[@foamysking]

They do some really cool super heavy pistol loadings as well by using a hybrid case design I believe aluminum and stainless to allow a more unique pressure curve to have larger heavier pistol rounds

[@TreeTop1947]

Jaime, my wife and I are both southpaw shooters. Two of our 3 daughters are also LH! Bullseye Breanna, the most sincere compliment that I can give you is: You are an AWESOME Mama Bear! You are also becoming visibly more comfortable in front of the camera, each episode. Remember, we are all cheering you on! Both of you ladies displayed more "guts" than many, many, male shooters would have when faced with that same 2 1/2 oz. slug! Until next time, Semper Fi from TreeTop

[@jeffloveless6536]

The only thing I can think of is taking down a Buffalo. When I was a teen my neighbor want to raise beefalo. So he bought 7 Buffalo, 4 cows 1 bull and a calf. He put them in his herd of beef and the proceeded to walk through the fences and out on main highways. Within 48hrs all but the calf were dead. I walked up on them in the woods. They scared me to death. I wasn't used to seeing Buffalo in Maryland. They were the biggest thing I had seen. All I had was a shotgun with slugs. I remember thinking that it wasn't gonna do nothing but make it mad. Those big slugs might have done more but they would have hurt though. Great Video!!

[@garyglenn5233]

I've got to get some of those monsters. They would work great on deer where I live. Luckily, I'm not recoil shy, so I could run a tube full of them though my 500 without stopping. That said, 6 would be my limit.

[@WeaponsEducation]

Why not make it in a 3" shell?

[@julymorris6367]

You can usually fit 1 or 2 more rounds in a shotgun if its 2 3/4 instead of 3

[@randomidiot8142]

Because shooting them faster gets unshootable really fast. Energy is velocity dependent, and energy goes up with the square of velocity. Recoil energy goes up the same way.

[@itsalwayssunnyinpahoa7631]

2.5oz 12 Gauge slug? lol 😂 my shoulder hurts just _thinking_ about putting one of those down range.

[@caffeinatedinsanity2324]

The lead plate is kinda weird when it comes to piercing it. I found that most often, projectiles that made their way through were made out of a hard material like steel. Also, has to be relatively blunt. Examples that come to mind are the barbell slug, the L5, the dgs thunderbolt (hardened lead), door knob from evan (subsonic) and I think Tim's brass knuckle diablo slug. So I'm seeing a common trend here. Lead slugs like the ppsh and this one, despite being heavy, were less likely to go through

[@richardpalmer6196]

👍 "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. " Or just , "It's going to break something at either end folks !" This round should do well in Alaska, where most animals that can hurt you need something like this to stop them quickly.

[@moparman0314]

I’ve seen these at my local gum shop. I purchased some of the Seismic 185grain 9mm. Wasn’t sure if I should do the 2.5 ounce 12 gauges though. I’ll pick some up tomorrow.

This is my first time thinking that a shotgun needs a counterweight. That recoil is off the chain.

Just put some kind of shock absorber stock on it. Won't reduce the kick by that much but your shoulder is protected from bruising.
