okay I'm ready alright - I'm not!
hello again this is jeff from
taofledermaus - we've got another slug
from Russia sent to us by the mysterious
Aceton -- With weight of 41 grams or
632 grains-- according to the box these
are big enough to take out polar bears
These slugs are the big brother to
the Grizzly slugs which we shot earlier
this year which were only 37 grams which
is still very heavy
we're just going to be testing some the
MEDVED this is our MEDVED standard here
with the hollow nose and then over here
we have the MEDVED explosive -- it's got a
primer mounted in it with some flash
powder so let's see if we can't we're
we're just testing powder loads it only
made up like 5 of them or so ok I'm good
alright here we go I loaded these slugs
up as test load-- just to check that 32
grains of long shot and they seem to be
performing very well. These types of
slugs require spin stabilization
We are just using a rifle choke which is
something the russians call a nozzle
paradox - we had pretty good results with
the grizzly slugs the only problem was
they shot a little bit low these seem to
be more or less on target so that's
really looking promising with these
slugs and the powder load I'm using I am
Matt now I'm going to shoot the exploding
one at the same target
Did it kick pretty hard? -- It did
Matt is a
viewer and he's about as local as you
can get he only lives about five miles
from where we shoot we asked if he
wanted to take a couple shots and he
agreed probably not realizing how much
kick these things really had we told him
to hit the same spot that Greg slug hit
and bam almost right on top of it so
consistency leads to repeatability and
better grouping so far these are looking
great just I don't know how long these
guy's shoulders can hold out
The red dot on Gregg's shotgun is sighted in for
one ounce
foster slugs that's what he mostly shoots
out of that thing during his training
and if you know anything about
ballistics
when you go from one type of ammunition
to another the point of aim is going to
change all over the place but these
things are quite close to the same point
of aim as the foster slug
Maybe a half inch to one inch low and it's
important to note that we didn't give
Matt any practice shots we just hand him
the gun and let him go for it so that's
pretty impressive
what are you aiming at?
The blue circle---okay got you
that before
hahaha honestly I think that one took
the cake that one was harder than the
previous one
Welcome back to PNOUTDOORS --it's a balmy 86 degrees
Fahrenheit outside our Russian ballistic
gelatin has been calibrated to have
three point seven seven inches-- KGB
standards? -- you'll see here as I split
the loaf
oh really folks we didn't have to cut
this log in half this thing broke right
order it had to been cracked but write
down the Sun hold a little bit of our
little bit of bruising over there but
that slug dug in here oh it's actually
right there I haven't find it well we
have a perfectly good piece of wood I
meant to recast that now yeah my look
now you got a cigar-holder okay or
something yeah okay good what you gonna
think I'm talking wood there is
something down in there but it's even
further buried under that green so we
won't try to get it out with how's the
kick on these that kick was worse than I
think anything that ever felt it but
still the recoil of it kicking you I
think I'll do set up a profile I will
tell you you on YouTube that that was
probably the worst shoulder thump that I
felt on any TAOFLEDERMAUS rounds that
we have fired that thing wanted to set
me back and take my wallet it's such a
wallet anyway now we've shot quite a few
slugs at these big chunks of wood I
think only one time before did it break
off a piece but I don't think we've ever
seen one
splits the entire block of wood so
effortlessly like this one did the slug
ended up burying itself about four
inches deep into that wood didn't go
through but that's typical for slugs
I'm ready all right I'm not nothing skip
Oh didn't look that bad from here that
one wasn't quite as bad I think as the
last one I don't know what it was about
that last one yeah I mean this one was a
thump
the slug lady fired actually went over a
thousand feet skipping across the water
just in case you want to know how far
that thing went now we'll see how
accurate these things are shooting at 50
yards or 45 meters close to 50 yards
at the pig
Pig hunting... California-style
here we go
very nice -- that slug got there quick
must be getting 1600 FPS
I think that's pretty good for
not taking any practice shots at that
distance as the slug comes into frame
take note of the ground in front of the
target at 50 yards the slug is still
traveling at a supersonic speed and its
shockwave is disrupting the dust on the
ground you will not see that with a
subsonic projectile I think Greg and
Matt were relieved that I only had six
of these things I don't think they could
have handled too many more of these
shots I hope you enjoyed this thanks for
watching
you
