The World According to Josh http://joshhaley.com a good sample of just about everything Thu, 20 May 2010 18:07:00 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 “Thunder Gauntlet” by Nutnfancy (Shotgun Desert Run) http://joshhaley.com/2010/05/20/thunder-gauntlet-by-nutnfancy-shotgun-desert-run/ http://joshhaley.com/2010/05/20/thunder-gauntlet-by-nutnfancy-shotgun-desert-run/#comments Thu, 20 May 2010 18:07:00 +0000 Josh Haley http://joshhaley.com/?p=446 August 07, 2009 — “InadvertentSmell” and Nutnfancy continue the workout of three quintescential combat pump shotguns after an already long day 12+ hrs of shooting in the mountains.: the Remington 870, Mossberg 590A1, and Winchester 1300. Son “TacticalDoodle” bailed on this session to hang out with his chick so it was just Smell and I doing trigger duty. Previous testing that day and previous ones had taken place high in the mountains and other desert locations. Official slug testing ensued and yielded surprisingly effective results for a simple bead sight at 60 yards laser measured. Fighting both the rapidly waning light and threathening thunderstorms,. we pressed forward into the “Gauntlet,” a dry river ravine I set up where we engaged three steel plates in rapid succession Actiion Targets “Evil Roy” targets on stands. As usual I like getting the heart pumping and adrenaline flowing a bit for all my shooting so running the Gauntlet and its uneven terrain was the order of the night; challenging to keep footing, locate, engage, and reload with speed. A couple of transitions to the Taurus PT1911/Kimber .22 conversion were irrestible. As night fell we lost light for more visible camera shooting but many rounds had been sent and conclusions drawn: all three shotguns performed impressively…fast, accurate, and reliable.

Im using a Mossberg 500 Rolling Thunder. If you notice on the end of the barrel, it has what Mossberg calls a “compensator”. Its supposed to cut down on the upward kick of the gun and to suppress flashes. Also I was told that this model is also used for door breaching. Since I wont be doing to much of that its kinda pointless. But anyway, lets go!

1. First up is the Remington Slugger Rifled Slug. 1oz slug, 2 3/4″ length, 1560fps, 12ga

2. Second up on deck is the Winchester Rack Master HV. 1 1/8oz rifled, 2 3/4″ length, 1625fps 12ga.

3. Last up is the big boy, Winchester Magnum Super X Rifled Slugs, 1oz rifled, 3″ length, and 1760fps, 12ga.

Personally I enjoyed the Remington Slugger because it had the least recoil and was eastest to keep under control.

The Rack masters were a bit rough on the wrist. But had the best accuracy out of the three.

And the Super X was by far the most powerful with the most recoil. And man did these things kick and have a bite on them.

All in all it was a fun day. Maybe next time ill stick with low recoil slugs…

Many Benelli shotguns come with a slug barrel option. For hunters who live in rifle hunting regulated areas the guns in this video will be some exciting options for your next season.

And this photo meme comes to an end.

The link below will take you to the results of my 12 days of Christmas photo meme. I took the challenge from Ladybug Heather, although I think sh meant we were supposed to take all 12 pictures and post them at once. Since I like anticipation more than the event itself (typically), I decided to spread it out on the 12 days leading up to Christmas.

The order changes, due to each post being promoted to the top of my stream each time it is liked or commented on, but they are all there.

I got lazy on most of them. And I didn’t even try to make any of them Christmasy…just making sure they made the right number. Not sure if I will be able to compete with the folks doing the 100 day photo challenge next year. :p

Anyway, MERRY CHRISTMAS to all my Christian friends, and Happy Holidays to everyone!

Josh
