The lost art of "Cut Shells"

Also known as "Cut Slugs", these effective yet surprisingly simple alternative shotgun munitions were once used in the early 1900's when deer stopping loads were needed but not always available. You can turn a simple bird shot load into a man or game stopping "slug" with a quick turn of a knife.

Who the hell puts improvised shells through a new gun?

Nice video! Would it matter if I used a shotgun that had removable 'multi chokes' ?

Say a Mossberg 500 or an escort?

Thanks. That's just to cool. I'm going to give it a try.

It'd be interesting to see a comparison of these vs. wax slugs. Similar objective, very different execution.

This is by far the best make your own slug technique I have seen... Brilliant

He's a troll, not a racist. I find it interesting that you pointed out his trolling when he actually had a serious comment.

[Bandar Bush]

That is pretty awesome! Thanks! Do you know if this would cause any problems with the gun? Is it likely to explode or is it reasonably safe.

I may be wrong, but it looks like he's using the Rossi Overland Stagecoach Dbl, looks alot like the one I have.

[shortyhoward1]

[zeuqsav]
