Thank you for more buckshot tests! I'd go #4 with those choices personally. I read an article from The Truth About Guns on shotgun performance and they said #4 offers several times the wound damage of #00 and #1 buckshot. Please consider testing high velocity birdshot. Steel BBB has about 60 pellets and a higher muzzle velocity than #4 and I'd guess would generate greater wounding potential than #4. Great video as well!
Excellent testing. Looks like Barnes Defense could be a potential replacement if Federal Tactical LE132 can't be found. That's still the go-to gold standard for tight patterns!
Yes, maybe so. I looked up the Federal 132 you suggested and currently can't find it. Of course, I did not do an extensive search. Thanks watching and posting!
Yeah was super impressive, both the detailed test itself and the Barnes buckshot. Though I gotta say the blue hull Hornady looks promising too, 8 pellets of buck and probably kicks like a light trap load, pretty cool.
Great video and I agree with both of the two commenters who precede me here. If you can find anything with the Federal Flite Control wads, they really do seem to make a difference when I've watched other RUclipsr's test them over the years. Noticeably tighter groups seem to be the norm but I can't find them even in local big box sporting goods stores. Also, #4 buck is what I choose to keep loaded in my home defense shotgun. Less over penetration and a nice spread of shot over a reasonable area. My Mossberg 590A1 holds 8+1 shells of #4 buck in the gun and I keep four Brenneke Black Magic Magnum slug rounds in the holders that are built into the stock. It's a ridiculous amount of firepower in one firearm but as the saying goes, anything worth doing is worth overdoing!
Great to hear from you Aaron. That's funny "anything worth doing is worth overdoing!". Good points and I see a strong argument for the #4 buck. How do you like that Mossberg?
@@sdkweber Good morning! I love it but don't get to shoot it much. There are no outdoor ranges less than an hour from me and the local indoor ranges are only 25 meters and most won't let you shoot shotguns. It gets wiped down twice a year with a silicone cloth and I keep an Otis Bore Stick in the barrel to prevent rust. BTW, the new Goodyear DuraTrac Kevlar tires have been on my Gladiator for a few weeks now and so far I really like them. I was expecting a much louder tire and these are not bad at all. I ride with my windows down most of the time and I don't notice them at all.
@@aaronneumeyer5572 Thanks again Aaron. 25 meters is a good distance to shoot shotgun, but not if they don't allow it. :( Good to hear about the tires. Take care and have a good weekend.

@@rifleshooterchannel208 Thanks for watching. Overall, buckshot is pretty impressive stuff.
