I will certainly try the soaked magazines test but it may be a few days (possibly even a couple of weeks) before I can head to the range.

Incidentally, the slug was shot into the magazines from a measured 25 yards.

Fat chance of me buying what I want, Marrakai. I live in India... I am sure Mehul has talked about the plight of Indian shooters but just in case he hasn't, it's a case of, "beggars cannot be choosers".

Will post the pics as soon as I get to do the test. In the meantime, if you could shoot a RC4 slug into a bunch of tightly packed dry magazines at 25 yards, that would be useful. Thanks.

P.S.: Both the Clever Mirage slugs are still available in India but only at a few shops. Cost is Rs.140.00 (approx. AUD 4.00) per cartridge.
