One of the most POWERFUL slugs we have shot! - L-5 Sabot Slug ─ TAOFLEDERMAUS

Boris from Russia sent us some saboted steel slugs called Leningradka-5 or L-5 for short. These have a modified diabolo shape (like an air rifle pellet) but are completely solid. The slugs are designed for smooth-bore shotguns and do not need spin for stability. I loaded these using advice Boris gave me such as powder loads to reach optimum velocity. The 30 grain load gave the slugs an estimated velocity of between 1,600 to 1,700 feet/sec.

Earnings from Youtube have been dropping over the last few years.
Our RPM has dropped to 1/6th of what it was in 2014. Channel growth has not been able to keep up with that. You have probably seen many of your favorite channels quitting Youtube. We reluctantly have to ask our viewers to begin supporting us on Patreon. By 2018, the ad rates will continue to drop by another 50% and that will be the final nail in the coffin. Consider supporting THIS channel on Patreon, OR your favorite channels that also need your help. https://www.patreon.com/taofledermaus
