the "lost art" of ringed loads have been around for years.

I learned a slighty different way to do it

slice one side of the shell just short of half way through then turn around the shell and do the same to the other side leaving about a 1/8th thick strip of uncut shell connecting the lower half to the upper half on both sides.

I'd like to see what this does with a block of balistics gel.

I learned something new. Thanks for posting this. Very good to know.

Also VERY dangerous. Potential for the tube to lodge in the forcing cone or choke, causing a bbl obstruction. Not all ideas are good ideas.

There was a post on this a month or two ago. Not ideal by far but in a pinch a valuable piece of knowlege.

There was a post on this a month or two ago...

Yup, and that itself was a repost from a year ago...quite a bit of discussion in the first thread.

Wonder how much plastic build up you get in the barrel since the shell is going out it.

I can see it being OK for doubles, O/U, and single shots but would not try it in pumps.

Also, pretty good shooting on hit part with a double barrel.

The same guy also did a vid on making a wax slug with a shotshell that looks like it would be way safer than a ringed load. I still don't thing I'd do it with anything but a SxS, O/U, or single shot though.
