@Rubberbandballer Glad you like them. Thanks for watching.

@Julius44bc Think about it also like this....There are some places where people cannot obtain actual slugs and is a great way to turn a birdshot load into a slug. You cannot get slugs in Great Britian.

Fantastic cut shell totorial.

Hi, I'm in Great Britain and I find that most gun shops near me only stock fibre wad shells, as we are going green and Eco etc. I would guess fibre wad shells would not be suitable as a cut shell?

I only say as looking at your shells the plastic "wad" looks like it is required for the cut shell projectile to work?

@SilntObsvr I see - that makes sense. Thanks.

@chrisrusty99 Both Brenneke and Foster slugs will swage down through a full choke; there's no reason a cut shell or wax slug wouldn't pass through the choke just as readily. In fact, look for another video series by Iraqveteran8888, showing a .410 shotgun shooting .444 Marlin, .45 Long Colt, and ultimately .454 Cassull rounds (all of which are larger than the bore, never mind the choke, of a .410). Not recommended, but their example showed no damage to the gun.

What if the shell doesn't fit through the muzzle though? (like on my gun) Will the shell just shrink as it exits? Is it still safe?

THANK YOU so much for the video.... i cant wait till number 2 comes out

back in the day they were called finlander slugs been shooting them for 40 yrs

@IMBW89 who would shoot a deer with a cutshell when they have access to lead slugs? yea their safe too shot but not the best choice for deer and bear so don't substitute a lead slug for a cutshell if you dont have too.also, think if a guy cant afford a $1 slug to shoot a deer with than how did he afford gas to go hunting or a licence to shot deer? hes saying it for the morons that might try and shot a animals with them. theirs no reason for it this day and age.
