#4 Buckshot
00 Buckshot

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
