RAM JET Shotgun Slug Design - Stendebach II (Germany) ─ TAOFLEDERMAUS

I received some more unusual European slugs from a viewer named Emiliano in Italy. These are German slugs that weigh 36g. (1 oz. is 28g) The design is over 100 years old, and is a design few people would pursue because it seems to goes against the laws of aerodynamics and the understandings of supersonic principles. Most slugs are very nose-heavy, and have a light tail to create stabilization and they usually have a round nose for a streamlined profile. Stendebach threw all that out the window and created one of the oddest slugs we have shot. The design was so successful, it was worth stealing, I mean "invented" by a Russian 60 years later.

Don't believe the Stendebach Ideal slugs were from the early 1900's? here is a patent for other slugs Stendebach came up with. Note the date.

The problems we had with the slugs were the result of just not knowing the correct load data with these. The site that sells them provides little information, and there is ONLY one place that seems to sell these slugs. However, we finally got the slugs working after a few weeks from trial and error. The Russian Mayer Bullets were not finicky at all, as we shot them with different types of shells, low and high brass, etc with very good results each time.

The shooting stand Darren was using is called the CTK P3 Ultimate shooting rest.
