AFTE Store - Maximum Range of Shotgun Slugs

A selection of 12 gauge shotgun slugs were fired from both a smooth bore and rifled barreled shotgun, tracked by Doppler radar, and later physically witnessed, and it was observed that some of the slugs traveled over 1,000 yards (915 meters) when the barrel of the shotgun was fired at an elevated angle of approximately 28 degrees, arriving downrange 10-15 seconds
later. Afterwards, ballistic gelatin/soap was utilized to measure the depth of penetration of downloaded 12 gauge slugs fired at terminal impact velocity.
