#4 and 00 Buckshot videos

[huntingfool7]

A couple of well done buckshot videos that I think worthy of sharing. 

 #4 Buckshot

  00 Buckshot

Interesting.  The presenter writes very well (his script is excellent). 

I was surprised to see such deformation in lead shot, and I agree with him that the initial blast must have caused this---leading to erratic flight patterns.  That alone is a valuable lesson.

As I have deer hunted quite a bit with shotguns (firearm restricted zone), I will re-think the use of slugs.  Several pellets into vital organs would indeed make for a quick kill.  But as he says, #4 shot is just too small (his limit was a 20-yard shot, which is almost impossible to imagine).  In any case, in Washington deer hunting with a shotgun requires #1 or larger buckshot.

Imo I would take head shots with #1buck and think id use a pistol over  00buck

Brobee223 does make interesting videos.  His testing of Federal Blackcloud inspired me to rethink the choke that I use.

I've found #1 steel shot stuck in the bottom of the wad.  It also gets some deformation from setback.

Appreciate your feedback! Having done my little experiment, I would not use #4 buck again on deer. I'll keep my eye out for Federal FliteControl #1 buck and if I can find some, I'll try that next season.

Brobee,
Thanks for the videos and enjoyed watching them.
Funny how this topic came up when I just watched them a week ago and didn't realize it was posted here.
Nice to see you on the sight and think you are a good addition on here.

Great videos.  Growing up in SW Washington I hunted 564 and harvested quite a few deer with buck shot.  It was very effective on putting them down.

You have a fantastic youtube channel!

I just watched your episode on the Brenneke slug. Have you ever tested the Brenneke Special Forces Maximum Barrier Penetration Magnum?
I have heard reports of over 40" of gell penetration!
1 3/8th oz 1650 fps!
I would be willing to send you some to do a video on.
