Next Level of Slugs in ballistic gel

Impressive, Swish and Long_Shot!

must be jelly because jam dont shake like that!

Ok. How much do they cost and how/where can I buy them?

Holy energy dump batman!!!

Would love to see those in action on some thin skinned critters like a rabbit....or even for bird pesting in barns!

And ive heard you say there match grade accurate....

Would be nice to see pictures of each slug before and after.

Company name if possible, I think I know but want to confirm

Seems we have been working on the same idea independently. I wanted a fragmenting slug for the Raptor, yet one that would open violently for the 470 to 490 fps in the PP-700 pcp pistol. as I have seen post from other shooters that state that they could not get HP's to open at even 600+ fps in their lower powered air rifles.

I have two different slugs I am testing now. Both from modded molds I hp'd myself. Further mods to the slugs have been very rewarding. First target is 80 yards, 930's, 35 gr hp slug with one shot to settle the reg., and 10 on target in a mild cross wind.Knife80 yards at 930's .218 Raptor fx superior heavy bbl. 1 gal water jug. It mic's at a little over .60 cal. Next pic is a mistake. Please ignore. PP-700 hp before mods to the HP. After mod In pp-700 at 490 fps of newest 27 gr. pcp pistol slug. 50 yards ! gal. water jug at 470-490 fps from the .216 pp-700 barrel. .

The pp-700 slug simply exploded on target. Perfect vermin slug. I shot a trash bird but won't so a pix.It literally blew the trash bird in half at the lowly 47-490 fps range.

Low velocity got massive trauma for sure!

From what I can tell looking over old posts — you've been making these slugs years ago! Great development! Great contribution to our hobby!



Your kind of testing, using ballistic gel, and only a tin slice — like our quarry — is far superior to other testing mediums and methods.



Lucky those who got to buy your slugs while Talon Slugs was operating! I surely hope some big company buys your design and produces your fragmenting slugs at reasonable prices.

Must be a total blast to shoot pest shredding high BC projectiles.

I have tried making same slugs with preweekened body, but without any visible seam or rapture. They were standard holow point. But as you described they explode on 5 pcs, which in some cases hunters dont like.

But in real life.. do you need it? Slugs normaly expand most of the time even at long distances. Just my thinking.

Lower one on picture.

Žan,

I am collecting slug expansion tests and unfortunately can not confirm that most slugs expand in flesh-like mediums....



Here's my ongoing collection:
