whenever you're ready Wow had a hell of a thumpin did you smell it yeah I was
like burnt hair yeah it stinks hi this is jeff of taofledermaus we've got a
strange one for you we've got slugs made out of moose antler
these were sent to us by Mark from flint knapping tools calm check out the link
in the description and mark turn these on a lathe and he definitely knows what
he's doing the tolerances weights and everything we're just dead on this stuff
is rather hard it as a texture and feel of porcelain that's the best way I can
describe it mark told me that primitive people made hammers for jek tiles and
sewing needles all kinds of stuff out of antler as far as copper goes they could
actually find that in nugget form and make various things out of that too I
loaded a few of these with a light powder load and then some with a heavy
powder load let's see how they do
hey welcome back Chow flavor folks Jeff and the og
evidently coming to you from what sounds like Beirut hey yeah we got some guy
shooting behind us today but we're not going to get in their way they're not
going to get in our way today we're going to bring you some antler around
this round has been made out of moose antler not Moose knuckles moose antler
and remount it right down the center is a little copper copper slug that's been
JB welded into the sonoda mark over at flint knapping tools.com in
Singers town pennsylvania belfies and sent him out to Jeff so we're going to
send them downrange at a variety of different targets and see how they do
after we're all done with that we're going to send them to Matt over at
desolation ranch and see if he can shoot them out of a 50 caliber ha ha ha ha all
right let's get my truck okay the wet sawdust targets it's a new
one for us we'll see how it works out anytime you're ready
hang it how would a mess hahaha Oh get up
looks like a beaver vomited out here for beavers well you're doing it wrong Emma
listen ranch shooting over there that's probably Matt yeah cuz we all live on
the YouTube island out here I hope he has a slow mo guys with him yeah
okay so B huh behind this mess we had a Kevlar vests and yeah that is oh wow
okay that's not even look at the high-speed yet that is accurate there's
a slug absolutely you know just a little scuff on there but that could we could
load that up and shoot it again if we wanted to that's the back of the pot or
the you know the coffee creamer thing so that will be interesting out it
definitely slowed down the slug quite a bit and I'm having regrets shooting at
the firt being the first thing to shoot yeah
Oregon ballistic jelly but different joke I'm going to say with Canadian
Canadian ballistic Oh Canada America's hat all of the slugs that we shot today
were shot just through a smoothbore shotgun no spin at all and look how
stable that slug is and very accurate I wasn't sure if these would shatter when
we shot him because it was shot moose antlers out of a shotgun before okay
we're still using the low power 20 grains of long shot ladies love the
let's wait I'll play that I'm ready it's sunk in it
nothing wet just now these first low-power slugs are probably traveling
around 1,300 feet per second while we probably could have shot these through a
rifle choke to get a little spin on them we really didn't need to because of that
diabolo shape the shape of an air rifle pellet basically and it just has proven
to be such a wonderful aerodynamic shape that you can make anything out of it and
it works oh you got it Donna oh look at that because it knows it
okay let me let me compare it to the first one we shot flatten it out we're
doing get it recovering these things so far some of the other not really plowed
into this leg layer yeah it went in there quite deep this is what's cool I
don't know viewers can see but there are little tiny tiny shards of a blue
electrical tape oh you did hit the tape okay shut down in there oh okay and
shoot okay that's right he'd need training that's right okay we're old
trailer biggest trailer hitch we got Kevlar on there to catch any ricochet
which makes it look like a hillbilly TIE fighter you can keep this okay I'm ready
Hey dang it it's like a thing to the left
now this one did not fly very well it's probably because of the wadding I used I
ran out of the FS 12 well in the wadding and use a different type and that makes
a big difference luckily the slug still managed to clip
the steel ball and we were able to catch it in that Kevlar vest and I think it
hit the hit something somewhat significant look at that smear where
that thing hitting zinged off yeah it's like picked up steel or something on
there nothing out like a quarter cheese oh it's hot yes it was burying the dirt
like this and looked like a look like a forty pound oh you saw that
that's amazing there's just like five feet away forty caliber round stick it
out of the dirt but that's cool and it shows kind of the angle to that
it hit yeah yeah it might have hit like it right here something that you know
that I bet that's where it hit yeah yeah yeah okay I'm ready
you finally found it huh we found that we did it out of the white vest it is
practically new condition there's almost zero damage to that and
just so viewers know these pants were Jeff's church pants no soaking wet
however they are whether than an RKO a weekend yes their
work pants they're like a industrial work pants boy and the good old days we
had them balls up and it burned right in there I hope you didn't blow it down at
all nope so would not make a very good one stick best for office yeah home
defense pant pants to put on your home defense pants if a guy breaks in your
window that's right you would not make it very good guys this guy's are over
the police yeah we've got incoming fire because of south leaner folks were a
little like us this look definitely handled that extra 10 grains of Hodgkins
long shot very well very stable and very accurate and it just plowed right
through the FBI standard soaking wet trousers okay if we didn't shoot the
clay block people would be like very angry play in a box of course we'd never
do anything right do we okay I don't know if that box is going to contain it
or not these things are probably going 1,700 feet per second
is it a ballistic box though well let's see okay I'm ready when you are
holy crow ox is down so I would smelled like burnt hair again this is a
high-power slug with 30 grains of a longshot in it it started out okay isn't
it just started popping a wheelie and kind of corrected itself and managed to
hit the clay still so we're happy with that now it's funny about these slugs is
when the winds blow in the right way and the smoke flows back to you it stinks
terribly it's a horrible smell now you're something you'll really like
mr. know-it-all go ahead Paul just a flesh wound hit him right in the knuckle
right his moose knuckle and a little bit lower than we expected yeah the higher
power ones that we put too much power into powder in there
they were great it went at 20 grains he's got a purple thumb I think he just
voted in Afghanistan ha ha ha well he hit something
thumbs up if you like this video there's an antler chart right there oh yeah ok
well we'll have to see what it looked like on high-speed all I could tell is
it hit a little bit low but you hit you hit those water jets cleanly again this
one flew a little bit wonky and it wasn't very accurate and I'm not going
to blame the powdered load I'm going to blame the wadding zhan on the
inconsistencies but how cool is it to shoot moose antler slug I hope you
enjoyed this video thanks for watching well then the Shatford around the
network we'll find out next time in it's only a flesh wound or better lead than
dead
