billings tactical buckshot is essentially a slug that acts like a glaser safty slug once it penetrates.I tried mine out today and here is the report.

I had no failures to fire or feed with my remington 1187.

I had one round out of 50 to open up prematurely causing the buckshot to scatter greatly.I don't know what caused it.It opened up to about a 12 inch pattern.i was standing at the 15 yard line.

I tried a penetration test. I got a 1 inch board and put it 5 feet in front of the target.I fired into the board and the round totally penetrated the board and only opened up about 2 inches into the target.

50 yards was the farthest I ever fired and accuracy was ok.nothing spectacular.

Conclusions.

I need to do more testing.>>>>>but they look neat.

I wonder what louis awerbuck thinks of them after having several shotgun classes behind him with them.
