Great for big game hunting, Polywad's Quik-Shok
Sabot Slugs are loaded to 1,500 fps.
The patented
Quik-Shok slug is .68 caliber as opposed to the .50
caliber slug that most other 12 Gauge sabot slugs
use.
The Quik-Shok slug weighs 1-1/8
oz. (492 grains) and splits into three massive
segments after penetrating liquid or tissue, even at
ranges beyond 100 yards.

Sabot Slugs prior to loading.
One of the
more important Quik-Shok advantages gained by big
game hunters is the rapid energy transfer which is
diffused over a large area within the target. The
dispersion action of the sheared segments creates
massive hemorrhaging. Each of the three segments
promote compression of nerve-laden tissues which
become trapped between expanding temporary cavities,
resulting in maximum motor interruption.
Most deer shot with the Quik-Shok
12 gauge Sabot slug are dropped in their tracks!
These three recovered
pieces
of the QS12MPRS Sabot Slug
each average over 160 grains
in weight. This is the
equivalent of shooting three
30/06 160 gr. projectiles!
The
projectile segmentation also increases the
probability of striking or affecting one or more
vital organs.
The Quik-Shok Sabot Slug was
designed to eliminate over-penetration and minimize
ricochet. The Quik-Shok projectile either separates
into three pieces when penetrating a liquid or
tissue target, or expands to a large, ellipsoidal
shape when impacting a hard surface. This
transformation drastically reduces its velocity and
energy and limits its post-impact range. This, of
course, minimizes the threat to downrange bystanders
and property.
Quik-Shok sabot slugs come in the
convenient 10-round field size boxes.(#QS12MPRS)

Manufacturing Process
Quik-Shok
Sabot Slugs are loaded by Polywad, Inc. using state of the art equipment along
with a propellant chosen to guarantee consistent
ignition under cold weather conditions.
The projectile itself is a
modified Foster slug, carefully designed for optimum
accuracy.
The patented Q-S1 intrusion
process is accomplished when a three-bladed punch
penetrates a cylindrical-solid lead core to a
predetermined distance.
Each
cut terminates just short of its periphery, creating
a thin web of material. The purpose of the web areas
is to control the degree and rate of expansion and
subsequent segmentation.
The cut slug is then transferred
to a profile die which creates a hollow point, a
hollow base, and shapes the projectile's ogive.
During this step, the thickness of the web areas is
maintained and all air spaces are eliminated.

* Segment Dispersion is the pattern the
three pieces take as they angle
away from the center of impact. |
This picture at
impact illustrates the devastating power
of the Quik-Shok 12 gauge Sabot Slug
projectile! The 45 pound block of 10%
Ballistics gelatin has been lifted from
the stand. The slug split into three
segments and remained in the gelatin.
|
Close-up of the
gelatin block showing the three segments
after they have been stopped in the
block. The circle of dispersion from
center is six inches.
|
In this picture,
a 5" thick gelatin block was been shot
at close range with the Quik-Shok
12 gauge Sabot slug. Had this been a
larger block of gelatin, each of the
three QS12MPRS Sabot slug pieces would
penetrate an average of 13" to 15". The
three pieces would come to rest in a
triangular pattern ("circle of
dispersion") no less than six inches
apart.
