1900 fps 12 gauge slug
Fusion and a couple others. The Centurion round ball (1400 fps) got my attention, it's gone, none, zero, nowhere.
What about 21/32 steel ball bearing, about 293 grains I think ? Anybody think there's any potential for a penetration round there ?

There are ball bearing tipped slugs out there labeled as "AP".
Only thing with a bearing is if it doesn't penetrate, it's usually going to bounce. |

HMmm...1900 fps at what weight? Energy is energy, whether in mass or speed. Recoil's gonna be nasty if it's more than...say.. 5/8 or 3/4 oz at that speed!

385 or .88 oz on most, 328 or 3/4 oz on one.
I'm thinking some kind of buffer between the charge and the slug.

21/32 chrome steel precision ball ASTM A295, 37c each.
You can buy these loaded for six bucks apiece. To save five bucks a shot I think somebody will come up with a starting load sooner or later. Whatcha thank ?
