Wax slug results.

Made a couple out of some low brass 7 1/2. The GF always burn Yankee candles and when they burn out she sets the rest of the candle in the glass jar on top of the woodstove. shot a couple today to take some pics and a vid for you guys.

Here is a piece of wood on top of another.

Results after splitting. The top piece is entry and you can see the depth of the shot.

Here is a smaller piece of wood

here is the results.

I'll do some long range accuracy tests later. These things hit hard for 7 1/2 shot and flu flu candle wax.

Fugg! Thanks for the post, Joe. I'm going to do some of these when I get some time.

What did you use to form them?

What did you use to form them?

You just cut the top of the shell right below the crimp, pour the shot it in a thing of melted wax, and fill the shell back up with the shot and liquid wax mixture. let them cool and top it off with a bit of wax. It's super simple. I made about 25 more this evening in about 45 min.

What choke are you using?

What choke are you using?

Improved. I figure you wouldn't want to shoot them out a tight choke but lots of guys say they're fine in a mod choke. A full can crack the slug and it'll fragment after exit turning it back into a regular load.
