"Holy... I knew ammo would be rather expensive, but 3 for 9,99?it'd probably a hell of alot cheaper if you made them yourself. since we're talking home defense it won't need as much powder. so use the extra space to put in some buckshot behind the slug. (or my personal favorite, #F steel shot .22 dia.). the shot and hulls are dirt cheap, and you can make your own slugs with a mold and some lead, but the powder is usually the most expensive. EDIT: sorry, i thought you were talking about buck and ball for some reason. Do you find this valuable? |

"The cavity created has the shock effect of 95%. That means only 5% of any living being could survive this kind of hit"Come on guys... Common sense check anyone? Sounds like an overpriced gimmick to me. Do you find this valuable? |

"info relocation anyone?true we're a little off-topic, but we are talking about an exotic shotgun round which all the rounds said so far have been. anything that increases our knowledge base is good. that 95% shock effect figure probably came from the fact they most likely used ballistics gel to test the round as opposed to a pig carcass or some other animal. bones and cartilage will dampen the hydrostatic shock that a slug will produce somewhat and there's only so much damage a 1 oz. slug can do. sure it will rip you a new butt hole, but you won't be blown to smithereens by it.
