Fury Slug and Minie Ball through rifled choke tube
Added 2019-03-06 00:38:13 +0000 UTCA few people asked us to see if these would even function through a rifled choke. Surprisingly they worked quite well. We'll post full-videos of each of these slugs as soon as we film them.
Thank you again everyone!

Probably none because the minie ball is in a plastic shotcup,

2019-03-07 19:50:30 +0000 UTCWould be interesting to see how much fouling each of the copper and lead slugs did to the riffling. Also curious whether powder coating on the lead would be of any benefit - I've seen guys using it on .22 LR. That might require a custom mold depending on thickness though..? Hmm...

2019-03-06 20:35:02 +0000 UTCThe rifled muskets weighs 10-11 lbs, and a 12 ga is only about 7 or 8 lbs, so that really makes the recoil worse.

2019-03-06 20:34:24 +0000 UTCI'm going to reduce the charge to 32 grains of Longshot- just for the sake of the shooter's shoulder.

2019-03-06 20:33:11 +0000 UTCyes, that is the plan. Only Danny has the rifled shotguns so that has delayed us from doing the full tests.

2019-03-06 20:32:27 +0000 UTCIt really is a private rifle range. it has permanent concrete benches just to the left of where we shoot. We can't use those because there are a bunch of bushes right behind the bench so I can get a camera behind the shooter.

2019-03-06 20:31:27 +0000 UTCEager to see the complete workups. Will you use a fully-rifled barrel for any of the upcoming shots?

2019-03-06 07:35:16 +0000 UTCIf the Minie ball is hollow based, it should obturate enough to engage the rifling.
