They’re unstable; about half tend to fly sideways and keyhole.
I have a few hundred rounds of finned slugs that do this as well.
Gotta get some.
Maybe if the fins on them were a bit twisted, causing them to spin, it might do better.
Illegal in Florida, in case any Floridians are curious.
Sorta like 'Am Shooting Journal'.
Jungle Jarts!
If Florida bans them, they are a truly deadly weapon system. It would appear that they could even penetrate Kevlar armor.

Armor-piercing or exploding ammunition or dragon’s breath shotgun shells, bolo shells, or flechette shells prohibited.
...
(f) “Flechette shell” means any shell that can be fired in a firearm and that expels two or more pieces of fin-stabilized solid metal wire or two or more solid dart-type projectiles.
there are many crappo weapons systems I would not like to be on the receiving end of.

I wouldn't volunteer to be shot by a .22LR derringer, either, but that doesn't mean that I'd recommend one for home defense.
You don’t need Flechettes. Just load your shotgun shells with fishhooks.
I have several boxes of the Brenneke Slugs (fins) for when I am in bear country doing field work.
Just yesterday I was trying to organize stuff and came across about 1,000 rounds of buckshot and slugs.
With my poor memory I think it is about time to get a bit more organized.
I’ve been reading where even just trap-shooting bird shot is hard to find now!?
Fletchetts.... reminds me of the day my buddy forgot to take the ramrod from his muzzleloader and shot it through the target.
So I put in a triple patch with no ball and stuffed an old wooden hunting arrow down the barrel with the razor top sticking out the end of the barrel.
It shot straight and accurate, but made my arrows smell like rotten eggs.
I shot many arrows that way and never had a problem except smelly fletching.
As Grandpa used to say "I don't remember as good as I used to but I can remember once as good as I always did" or something like that. I can't remember for sure.
