I am not really interested in guns, but your voice, manner and cadence is just so pleasing that I now watch videos about guns. You should be a professional narrator
It may be the first time you’ve heard about your voice.. I can say that I am a bing bang human and I do really enjoy the content you put out for us all. You do a great job of explaining and making quality videos. And your voice and the cadence of your way of speaking is really that good. 👍 🇺🇸 🦬 🚜 🌲
Kari - Yeah but do you like southern style biscuits and gravy? 😕 You can't just jump in here and smooth talk a man and think you get full hillbilly status that quick.... There are rules ya know.
Haha! We tested those slugs on Taofledermaus and had similarly disappointing results. I’ve become very skeptical of anything made by Brenneke these days. Great video, Buffalo!
Thanks for stopping by O.G.! I enjoy the tests you guys do, Jeff sure makes me long for a true high speed camera. I missed the one where you tested these though. Gonna look it up!
At least his were flying straight. We tested our when it was around 90 deg outside and they all tumbled except the one we soaked in ice water for about 10 minutes.
I’m impressed at how true they flew. They put perfect holes in that target. I wonder if they expand when shot into a meat target. I don’t know how the old lead slugs expand but I do know by personal experience that they are devastating on a hog. Slug size hole on the way in but a tennis ball size hole on the way out.
I’ve looked all over my area and can’t find any. That said your video will certainly keep me searching. Thanks for sharing and enjoying all your videos .
Perhaps the slug didn't expand, Buff, because you used the wrong brand of ballistic water. 🤓 As always, I love your Greater Good reminder and the banjo music that you close your videos with. 👍
Ye old Maverick 88! I gave my brother a Field & Security as a house warming gift 25 to 30 years ago when he moved into his house. He's shot the 💩 out of that gun, and it still as savage as it was on day one! 😊 Thank you for the awesome entertainment brother.
I have a 20 ga Maverick 88 Bantam youth 24" rifled barrel shotgun with a Vortex Diamonback scope and I shoot Hornady 250 gr slugs and have no issues what so ever zeroing at 100 yrds!! My other 20 ga Maverick 88 Bantam is my turkey gun with a Vortex Strikefire Red dot scope ,shooting the Fed Prem TSS 7/9 shot ,on 4/13/24 I shot a 25.4lb ,11 1/8" beard Tom at 50 yrds dropped Him in his tracks!! I Love my 88's ,lightweight, short and Great for the Price !!😁😍
"if you want to correct me, go ahead and say it in the comments. I helps with the algorithm" 🤣 Best ever, Buffalo! I think those clean holes in the target are going to translate into good blood trails on game. nothing bleeds like a clean hole. The Maverick 88 is one of the best values in shotguns EVER. Thanks, Buffalo! Merry Christmas to you and your family
I have a Maverick 88 Security Model, with 18 1/2" barrel and five shot magazine tube. I also have a Mossberg 590 Retrograde, with 20" barrel, heat shield and bayonet lug. I like them both very well. These are good, serviceable shotguns. They are reliable and easy to clean and maintain. The Mavericks are a real bargain.
Neat slug. Sabots are typically two-piece affairs that separate in flight. The sabots in these rounds look more like the wad columns we see in steel shot loads. They seem to work fine. I'm just a little reluctant to call them sabots. Great video, Buffalo. I'm looking forward to seeing more slugs tested.
Buffalo, I found your channel because of mention by Taofledermause. I’m really glad I did. You’re entertaining, knowledgeable, and maybe even a better shot than O.G.! 😁
Thanks! As you can imagine I get corrected for my pronunciations a lot being on YT but given the context anyone with any common sense can figure out what I'm talking about. Yet they get all bent out of shape...LOL Thanks for the comment!
Whenever i see your name i think about buffalos walking around outdoors...."hey look theres some buffalos outdoors". Not that they would ever be indoors, well maybe you never know.
Good to know about the sights working loose and how to fix the problem - thanks! As far as the slug not expanding, not a big deal because it makes a large .63 caliber hole so it's not really bullet failure. If anything it will drive through the toughest bones and penetrate deeper, where other typical lead Foster type slugs will flatten out and penetrate less. Thanks for another great video.
Good video as always. The older style Brennekes did well years back. Sometimes its best to not try & improve something if it works. Thanks & stay safe. Happy Holidays. 💥🎯👍🙏
"Say, Beau! Where'd your shoes fly off to?" Sabot is a type of shoe, made of wood. Think clogs, but French. It's where the English language gets the word "sabotage"; because of disputes between workers and their bosses, they'd use their shoes to literally halt production.
@Buffalo, great video as usual. Love that rifle, I have the same one. Never shot those Super Sabots before. Grest data. I think it would be wild if you, Jeff and Greg did a video together. God bless.
Thats sweet, now i know how to get the slug. Thanks, ive been looking for slugs to replace the lightfields, mavericks and mossy 500 are my go to. The lightfields i loved are nolonger being made. I just have a dozen left so ive been looking for the best slugs for the gun.
@@buffalosoutdoors I just about have to have optics on a long barrel or have the eye doctor create me a new eye. Getting old sucks. What is funny is I was watching the old video and then this one popped up, strange 🍺
My friend who was a sniper for a law agency got a wild hare to deer hunt with slugs. He did the 500 and had a riffled barrel and cantilever scope mount. He shot and hand loaded every slug he could find. The sabot rounds loaded hot as fire would hold about 2 to 4 moa. Sometimes a little better but the average. Foster slugs would do 4 to 6 moa. He got a lot of deer with it. I find foster slugs in my 870s to be very accurate at 50 to 75 yards.
I would love to see the classic Brenneke slugs on the shelf for less than $10.00 plus tax for a 5 pack. They may be even higher now...that was some time ago...
Check the screws on any gun. I have bunches of 1873 Colt clones and they can get loose every now and then. Got a Colt specific screwdriver set to keep from damaging heads. I have a handful of 500s and run mostly slugs and cast roundball. Been looking at the rifled 88. Wish it was drilled and tapped for scope base though. Love your vidios.
Well I can say this great video and correction for the loose sights. I would say that would drill and animal deep, probably too hard to white tail and not enough expansion but it would still leave a big wound channel. Once again Thankyou.
Nice video thank you ! I wonder what would be the accuracy difference with conventional foster slugs in your smooth bore maverick 88 and your rifled one !?
9.45 Ooooohhhwweeee.... that looks painful. Getting shot with this would hurt!?! 😂 Get your things in order and call your momma. It's over!!! Good start on full length videos again!
Good evening buffalo . We dont see you as often these days. Ihave a similar slug barrel for a Mossberg but it is setup for a scope. Ive never shot it yet.
having owned, shot,reloaded so many firearms it my opinion the 12 pump shotgun is as nearest to the perfect firearm with only limited on distance. what center fire firearms can you hunt small game,game birds, deer,boar,bear, moose anything in north America and much around the world with the same firearm?. None . the center fires would be under and overkill. I didn't even mention self defense applications.if I didn't own a shotgun I would by dinner time tomorrow. I greatly enjoyed the video. PAPA WISHING YOU WELL. 😊
I see comments on the price of those slugs but if your in big bear , wolf , mountain lion , moose country the $$ is well worth saving your/friends butt(s) !
I bought a carlsons rifled choke for my savage 320. Do you have any experience with shooting sabots through just a rifled choke? Will the 3 inches of rifling stabilize the slug out to about 75 yards?
A shotgun that I am curious about is the Ithaca Model 37 Deerslayer. One version has rifle sights, another has a cantilever scope mount, but both have fixed barrels and are reported to be very accurate. If you ever get the chance to review one, it should be interesting. The guns are a bit pricey, though.
I thought must gun manufacturers only used super short screws in sights so by the time it was noticeable loose the screw was gone forever in the grass. LOL
I've only owned one Maverick 88, a short barreled, pistol grip, w/heat shield version. My current, all around shotgun is a Mossberg 500 12ga that I utilize as a bird, deer, and hog gun thanks to the two barrels I have for it. However, the "rifle sight" barrel is a smooth bore. Do you are any of my fellow subscribers know, for sure, that the rifled barrel of an 88 will fit and function properly in a 500? I know where I can get one just like the one you featured in this video but have been a bit hesitant to buy it since I don't know the tolerance/fit differences between the Maverick 88 and Mossberg 500. Thanks for yet another excellent video! Keep 'em comin'!!
I have never tried swapping barrels between the 500 and the 88 but I have been told that they will swap so long as they are made for the same capacity magazine tube and are of the same gauge of course.
@@PassivePortfoliosThanks for the info! That is just what I needed to know! I really like my smooth bore, rifle sighted, barrel but I have wondered if I should purchase a Maverick barrel under the assumption that it would properly fit my trusty Mossberg 500.

@@taofledermaus I watched your video again and that was crazy!
Ballistic tap water is hard to come by. You were lucky to find it in Kentucky.
It's too expensive in Florida so we use generic orange soda.
True! LOL
That was a great camera shot from behind those milk jugs, making it rain like you did.
Finally, someone with proper enunciation!
Lol! "Ballistic Tap Water". I like that.
LOL Thanks!
"If I can even hit the thing"
You are humble but we didn't doubt ya. Good video.
That was an excellent presentation, thank you for sharing.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.

A shop I frequent in Lexington usually has them but not always.
Ballistic tap water?!?!🤣😂 That was great, Buffalo!
🤣 glad you liked that!
Hi boss. The comments on your voice are spot on. I loved the " ballistic tap water " experiment 🙂 Have a great Christmas
freedom is the greater good
Perhaps the slug didn't expand, Buff, because you used the wrong brand of ballistic water. 🤓 As always, I love your Greater Good reminder and the banjo music that you close your videos with. 👍
Good call! I bet that's what it was! I'm gonna have my water spigot recalibrated tomorrow! 😂 Thanks for watching!
Try some ballistic ice! @@buffalosoutdoors
Stop filling those jugs with softened water.
😆
Those punched clean holes in the target like a wad cutter
brenneke are amazing. great for squirrels. brenneke has a slug for 12,16,20,28 & 410.
I have owned one (88) for about 5 years now, and I love it. Best budget shotgun ever.

I always look forward to your videos.

Buffalo, I love you, don't ever change
Buffalo, I found your channel because of mention by Taofledermause. I’m really glad I did. You’re entertaining, knowledgeable, and maybe even a better shot than O.G.! 😁
You handled shooting those slugs like a champ! Two and three-quarter inch low recoil for me 😂
Side note, the phrase you say at the end of all your videos is being put to the test in Ireland.
Enjoyed that review Buffalo. Have to agree with you. No matter how you pronounce sabot, I know whatcha mean when used in a sentence
Thanks! As you can imagine I get corrected for my pronunciations a lot being on YT but given the context anyone with any common sense can figure out what I'm talking about. Yet they get all bent out of shape...LOL Thanks for the comment!
Yes sir you are pronouncing sabot spot on
I dig it. Nicely laid out presentation. Ty for sharing.
Whenever i see your name i think about buffalos walking around outdoors...."hey look theres some buffalos outdoors". Not that they would ever be indoors, well maybe you never know.
That fired round is CRAZY! Great video Mr. Buffalo 🍻💯
Man, a couple of those sabot’s could’ve been my toys growing up, they’re so purdy it’s almost a crime to shoot😂

Good test THANKS from Thailand a retired okie .
I have a shotgun just like yours. I will check the set screws for proper tightness and add some green locktite. nice shooting. helpful video. thanks
Glad you found the video helpful and thanks very much for the comment!
👍👍Nice job Buffalo, appreciate all your videos. Always top notch.
I have this exact setup and it loves the Magnum crush and Black Magic loads. Unfortunately I’m hooked on auto loaders now so it just collects dust.
Thanks buffalo
You're very welcome!

You shot a better group with loose sites then most with a scope 🍺

Sweet looking slug. I think the slug looks cooler without expanding.
Well done Sir. I’ve never had a rifled shotgun but they sure look fun.

Brenneke k.o. slugs are a little cheaper and pretty good
I’ll help the algorithm… we pronounce it “say-bow” down here in my neck of the woods of Tennessee.

Hey Mr B. That Ballistic Tap Water is a precious Commodity, but hey, in The Interest of Science. You Go for it Brother, we support you 🤣👍👍
Thanks for another interesting video. Take care.
Good video. How would they work in a modified choke?
Fascinating!
Thank you for the video
Keep an eye on your site is always good advice for anybody shooting ha ha ha great video, buffalo!
Some nice slugs for hole drilling....Good stuff....
OMG neighbor, I use tactical pond water in IGA & Walmart milk jugs as well as Milo's tea. May not be scientific but at least it's a standard for me
It makes for a fine test medium for a hillbilly like me! I hear the pond water is more environmentally friendly than the tap variety.
That's a neat round
Awesome video.
One wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that thing!
Those are awesome
Nice video thank you ! I wonder what would be the accuracy difference with conventional foster slugs in your smooth bore maverick 88 and your rifled one !?
Another good one Buffalo 🦬

Good start on full length videos again!
Id also like to see slug accuracy compared to a cylinder bore 88 security
Maybe some ballistic creek water would have helped with expansion. 😂😂
Great video
You must use a water softening system as most rifle/slugs go to about 4 jugs !
I found that Winchester BRI sabos shoot best in my maverick rifled barrel
I don't know how to say it either. But I'll help with the algorithm.

Try my Nodak ballistic logs comes in 8" round with 4-6-8-10-12" long . 16" is special order . 😊
Good video, enjoyed it!
Oh its a good thing i didnt get these, got the browning bxs sabot instead, full copper wirh polymer tip, 2¾, does have a good thumping from it
I thought must gun manufacturers only used super short screws in sights so by the time it was noticeable loose the screw was gone forever in the grass. LOL
Say it anyway you like my friend.
👍😊🎯 being that most high powered rifle only goes through 3-4 water jugs tho expanding but that slug was 68 cal .
It went deep!
Now if only you could find them on the shelves and for less than $3+ per shot...
I feel ya man. It's unreal how expensive stuff is getting.

The barrels on the 88 and 500 are interchangeable.
I have never tried swapping barrels between the 500 and the 88 but I have been told that they will swap so long as they are made for the same capacity magazine tube and are of the same gauge of course.
