Glad to hear you're enjoying these videos - I'm having a good time (and also learning heaps) making them. I've got a few more coming soon, so stay tuned!
One thing that stood out which you overlooked. The active duty shell you pulled apart had a complete wad with pettles? Just about all win buckshot has wads with no pettles, + buffer or no buffer. Also is there an australian distributer that brings in 36gm wads to suit those winchester cases, i can get wads for compression formed cases just not those straight wall cases. Will you be reviewing the Buckmaster BP12, or the Templeton T2000.
#4 buck is my personal favorite, right on the line between buck and bird, usually found in 3-1/2" magnum high brass loads where I live, destroys your shoulder but can reach high altitude geese and other waterfowl
I reload a 12 pellet nickel plated 0-buck shell for hunting. A 14 pellet #1 buck load is good to. I stack them by 2s in the hull. They seem to go out of a tight choke better.
The best slugs are rottweil exact for accuracy in a smooth bore. Only 000 buck in a 3" will lift a goat off its feet at 15m. And #3 buck in 20G is the best selection in tbe sub gauges.
I have heard good things about Rottweil slugs and hope to give them a go when I can get back into content creation; hopefully soon! And, anything that can nail a big billy is definitely worth a go.
Hey mate. Have you cut open an Alphamax 34gr SG? I want to know how many pellets are in that. Also, do you believe the Alphamax AAA are plated with something, possibly nickel? I cut open a Winchester 4 buck and an Alpha AAA. The Winchester is definitely just dull lead, while the AAA is shiny, nearly mirror like, which makes me think they are plated.
I think I have a pack of that somewhere I bought for future videos... Will have to dig it out sometime, as I'm pretty keen to confirm the difference between an SG and a OO Buck. As for the difference in the finish of Eley vs Winchester lead shot - the Eley definitely look shinier and I don't know for sure, but I can't honestly see why they'd go to the effort of coating the shot in nickel. I'd say it's got more to do with the actual casting process, but there may be some kind of wax coating? I'll have to ask next time I'm at the dealer.
@blackstumpballistics5361 Appreciate the reply. Yeah probably more to do with the casting process, giving the lead a more polished look. Looking forward to that SG video!
@blackstumpballistics5361 So I contacted Eley about why I can't find the Alphamax range on their website. They told me they no longer make Alphamax. So that's pretty dissapointing...
Powershocks are absolutely brutal to shoot if you have a lightweight shotgun like my Stevens Security shotgun, they will in fact spin even when shot in a smooth bore shotgun and have great accuracy, just never fire anything besides a rifled slug in a rifled shotgun barrel.

Shotgun reloading is a whole branch of science that I really should get into sometime. Sounds like a decent load - what are you hunting with that?
