#4 and 00 Buckshot videos

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

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.

In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

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.

Cheers,

Brobee

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.
Maturity is when you have the power to destroy someone who did you wrong but instead you breathe, walk away, and let life take care of them.

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.
