This Slug Looks Awesome, But Looks Aren’t Everything

[@taofledermaus]

Reminds me of some old Russian slugs we tested. One thing I've learned is that putting fins on a slug rarely works you think they would. lol

[@theshotgunscientists]

When we first saw them we immediately thought of the video you did a while back with a similar slug.

[@Natedawg770]

I wonder how they would perform ballisticly. If they worked. Great video bud!

[@theshotgunscientists]

Me too

[@davidjernigan8161]

Yea, I remember taofledermaus testing a "Sputnik" Soviet slug that looks similar to these.

[@theshotgunscientists]

We thought the same thing lol

[@keithosterkamp6207]

That’s some serious tumbling. Very interesting to see how these didn’t perform well.

[@theshotgunscientists]

Yeah I was hopeful for these

[@grahamohea2424]

If everything was successful, then it wouldn't be Shotgun Science

[@theshotgunscientists]

@@grahamohea2424 that’s right

[@coltspringfield9962]

To bad those didn't work, sure look cool. Maybe a 3 piece sabot that took up finn area keeping slug straight when fired might help.

[@theshotgunscientists]

We have 6 left we might try and come up with something.

Those look like over-sized .177 pellets. Maybe they'd be better in a rifled barrel? Anyway, Merry Christmas Tyler, Josh and your respective families.

[@theshotgunscientists]

Merry Christmas to you and your family as well!
