Hi! Thanks for the kind words. Really strange about the anger from Toadecks.
As per choke: I used a cylinder bore: no choke. Thanks.

Good video, good way to make slugs if you don’t have access to them for whatever reason. This also seems safer than the whole cut shell slug method. I am really suprised though at how some toadecks asshole decides to go on a vendetta against you for no apparent reason. You handled him well though. Homophobic racists such as toadecks should stay of the internet… anyway good video, question though, what is the choke on the shotgun you used for this?

Way to make do with what you’ve got,Y-Man. Keep on doing what your doing! Ignore ignorant trolls like toadicks who have nothing better to do than provide baseless criticism and conjecture.
And hey, TOEDICKS, if you don’t like the videos, and don’t think it’s a “contribution”, then leave. Obviously your opinion is yours, but it’s also in the minority.

Make sure to use high brass like in the video folks, seen some other idiot using 12 birdshot, which has less gun powder. #6 shot is very cheap to buy, and the brass is high with more gun powder, thus better results.

032125 You’re a moron. You probably have never even BEEN to Africa. YMAN, the technique you show is a good one. Hopefully I’ll never have to use it here in the U.S.A., but should that dark day come where I can no longer buy slugs or buckshot, your technique will be put to good use. Far better than “cut shells.”

@toadecks Take it easy: open your eyes: do you realise I MIGHT just be a tinkerer who likes to improvise stuff? In grade school, I improvised RC plane models (Which exploded!) Especially stuff I cannot get normally? I am NOT a poacher, we do not even have those animals where I stay, (Most hunting here would be for meat, for survival: not hides or Ivory.) I am fortunate, educated, in a good job: I go to McDonalds for my meat! (LOL)
Just take it easy: wow! (What did I ever do to this gentleman?)

@toadecks Man will always kill man. It started when Oonga picked up a rock and crushed Kraaa’s skull for stealing his woman and his lump of meat. ten thousand years ago, and it will continue after M1.93A0 uses mindwaves to disconnect S2.76R2′s synapses a thousand years from now. I love what I do, thats what matters.Youtube is already filled with crazy things, I learnt a lot from there myself. (Of course I refined a lot of stuff I picked there.) No need for the “almost” hatred you seem to have!

@toadecks I’m happy for you that you have even a .22LR rifle: I don’t. And I may never have that. Maybe when I come to the USA on vacation, I could shoot one.I assure you I have SOME knowledge of what I do: I was in the Nigerian Airforce for a few years,I did Basic Armourer’s course too. I have also painstakingly researched my stuff.I also inserted a clear caveat in my video.Take it easy,toadecks, the improvising spirit should not be killed. I am NOT a poacher! (Nixon: “I am NOT a crook!” LOL)

We cannot buy buckshot here: not available either. Only Birdshot. I really do not understand why you are so vehemently against me? What happened to the McGyver spirit? You complain about my videos, when you know there are guys copying “Jackass” stunts all over the place? What did I ever do to you?

Hi, sorry to get you so riled up. You accuse 032125 of defending me: YOU: why are you accusing me so much? What did I ever do to you?
I am NOT a poacher. I just have interest, and I research my stuff VERY well.
In the first instance: I didnt start it! Check online for hundreds of even more unsafe videos: Bushboy casting solid slugs from holes in wood, guys cutting of the crimp and pouring glue or wax into shot, guys cutting through shotshells so the front part goes flying out.Please!

@032125 why the fuck are you defending this dude? is he your bum-buddy or something? africa is probably the most corrupt place on earth, and there is every possibility that this YMAN dude is a poacher who ruthlessly slaughters near-extinct animals for their ivory or hides…
