Ok, so I was all set up to do a couple of vids this weekend on a side-by-side accuracy comparison of the CB slug wad and real WAA12’s, my custom slug barrel on my 220 I got back from Randy Fritz at Tarhunt, swaged rifled Lyman Foster Slugs I received from dsh1106, and 20 ga Russia. Lyman Cone slugs, but as I got to the range, I forgot the battery to my brand new camcorder (upgrade from iPad and iPhone).
Anyway, I went ahead and shot them. As for accuracy wise, the WAA12 kicked the CB Slug wad’s behind 50 yards.
I recovered some CB slug wads. Some had petals torn, some and crush section smashed, etc.
The load I used was Remington American Clay hulls (same as STS), real WAA12 and CB Slug was, 25 grs of Herco, Fed209A, Russian Lyman clone, fold crimp.
Here’s the velocity for the CB Slug wads:
1. 1228
2. 1264
3. 1204
4. 1245
5. 1260
Group:
Velocity for the WAA12:
1. 1284
2. 1272
3. 1250
4. 1253
5. 1264
Group:
Both groups where shot out of my USH. You would assume same POI, but not even close.
The WAA12 group was 8 in 12 o’clock high when aim center mass. The CB Slug was grouped 6-8” 6 o’clock low.
I’m baffled by that.
Next time, testing will be done under a more controlled environment besides a public gun range (deer season at the ranch, so no shooting there). I need more datum points before I can really give a solid opinion.
