Detailed Description

 



DGS Dangerous Game Gualbo Steel Slug 12ga (10/pak)
*This is not Loaded ammunition 

The GUALBO STEEL 12ga slug is an expanding 32 gram steel slug with petals that peel back upon impact to maximize the slug's energy transfer and create a devastating wound channel.

The central upper pin guarantees stability and precison, both in trajectory motion and at the moment of impact against the subject.  To maximize the final damage, the front petals have been projected in order to come off the main body of the slug once it penetrates the tissue for about 10 cm. 

The plastic body has been developed with lateral tongues that hold the steel slug and come off the central body immediately upon discharge from the barrel.  This central balance not only guarantees the equilibrium and precison of the Gualbo Steel slug but protects the barrel from potential damage.

Roll or fold crimps work well with the DGS line. The highly efficient gas seal and finely detailed slug structure are engineered to work symbiotically to achieve hard-hitting accuracy. Exclusive self-adjusting column height for perfect crimps.

WARNINGS:

DO NOT FIRE THE DGS GUALBO STEEL SLUG THROUGH A CHOKED BARREL.

When loading slug components with an inherent gas seal, the entire slug component must be nudged down with your reloading press' rammer tube. Many loaders complain that they don't have enough room for a crimp. This tells us that the reloader is NOT pushing down on the slug prior to crimping and thus not properly seating the slug on the powder. Depending on your loading tool, these loads may require a series of nudges to allow the powder to enter and fill the concave (cupped) plastic gas seal. If you don't do this, then you'll get the "no-fit" problem or a failed load when the powder refuses to fully ignite. Burned or punctured gas seals is almost always a result of this user error.

Spire tip slugs placed within a tube magazine (i.e. pump or auto shotguns) must not have any protrusions from the crimp. Although it is unlikely, it is possible that the tip of the protruding slug could impact the primer of the shell in front of it. This could be extremely dangerous. A pointed slug should be covered with a cardboard or plastic disc or even fold-crimped. Failing that, the shotgunner should only place one slug at a time in a tube magazine. Verify no slug, regardless of type, protrudes past the top of a hull.

Surprising penetration and expansion results.... 11/15/2016
I am guessing that Gary works or is somehow connected to a competitor. Most of the data necessary for a quality review is available from the website. It seems that some people want to know how to actually make them, step by step. Anyone else think someone wants to steal someones design ? Oh, and Gary.....youll have to get your own ballistic gel block as well.

Very impressive results in our testing 7/16/2016
Ballistic Products were kind enough to send us some these slugs for early testing. We used both a fully-rifled, scoped shotgun and a smooth-bore tactical shotgun. We saw beautiful, accurate performance with both guns. You can find our video on Youtube which includes high speed camera imagery. Search Gualbo Steel
