Guess one could always go cowboy and fill a 12ga full of dimes.
I actually have wondered what a full 2.5" or 3" .410 shell of just the disks from the Winchester pdx1 would be like.Guess one could always go cowboy and fill a 12ga full of dimes.
There are so many weird .410 duplex loads that have terrible patterns at any distance that I want to see how they would hold together with a wax job.Colour me surprised. Paul did a video on 12ga wax slugs using #7.5 shot 3 years ago. Seems his results align with what I'm seeing from these things. Takes about a minute each to make them out of normal 2.75" shells, but then again, I don't intend to do all that much home defense shooting, so volume really isn't relevant.
Wax Slugs
Paul tests out some wax slugs, and compares them to conventional shotgun ammo.Shirts and patches from Tristar Trading Co: https://alnk.to/6bSTELxOther platfo...www.youtube.com
It's a great option, IMO. I use 7 1/2 field loads for the first two shots, then the 00 Buck for a real punch if necessary. I don't like the idea of 33 cal pellets pushing through walls. Inside a home the field load shot shell is mean medicine at close range.That is an under utilized option!
I've rolled a few coyotes with #4 heavy pheasant load. They take a licking and keep ticking with those! Knocks em over but they come up running. Bb lead or 4 buck keeps them down, but it's a bit rough on pheasants!Had a coyote come through a couple times.
Told bud use #4 buck for his 870 and we'd call er in.
BOOM BOOM across the creek from his stand comes the yote at a good trot.
I blasted it w my .357 revolver, heart shot it flipped and went maybe 10 yards and died.
He used #4 pheasant load.
Oops.
Now I do have some left over #4 turkey loads. Buffered, plated shot, controlled wad......I suspect it would just be one nasty hole at HD distance.
It aint a promo game load.
