Buff, first off, that was probably one of the best slug groups I ever saw. That rifled choke tube made the difference. Worth the $50, for sure. Second, whenever I sight in any scope, I may zero in with bullseyes, but I always set my elevation a little higher, so I will have good shots out at longer range. You can always lower your aim point if you're shooting at closer range, like you did at 50 yards. Like always, enjoyed your videos.

This allows you to have a consistent point of aim to rest your sights or crosshairs on without destroying the bullseye half way through the grouping.

@exothermal.sprocket 4 жыл бұрын

Just the engineer in me, I wonder about those rifled chokes and how much stress they're under when that slug slams into the rifling. In a fully rifled bore, a bullet starts rotation early in acceleration. In other words, not going that quickly when they start to rotate. In this shotgun, more than likely the slug is already doing 1400-1500 FPS when it hits that rifling. That's gotta put a significant amount of rotational strain on that choke. My guess is the reaction causes the choke to tighten rather than loosen. .. I see your little dog bought himself a Harley Davidson.

@brettanderson6743 4 жыл бұрын

Correct about the rotation. The rifling is always opposite to the threading on the choke causing it to self tighten so to speak. much the same as bolts on the front of engine crankshafts.

@loboel264mag7 4 жыл бұрын

@exothermal.sprocket 4 жыл бұрын

I've seen guns torque in the hands of people in slow motion video, as a counter-action to heavy bullets resisting rotation in the rifling. Have to remember that rifling causes bullets to spin some ridiculously high RPM, way faster than many realize.

@TheFuriouscinnabun 4 жыл бұрын

The slug is rotating do to its shape so that means the rifling just needs to speed it up to some degree.

@exothermal.sprocket 4 жыл бұрын

1:35 twist x 4" Let's assume the slug travels 24" before it touches the choke rifling. I bet that slug hasn't rotated more than 2 revolutions in that distance. The only means it has to rotate is the breeze blowing across those little fins, imparting rotation like rocket fins. Buffalo said the choke has a 1:35 twist rate. Let's assume 1,400 fps slug speed by the time it reaches the rifling. Let's also assume the rifling in the choke is 4 inches long. On to the math: 1400 feet in 1 second, converted is 16,800 inches in a second. At this rate, the slug hits the rifling instantly imparting rotation across 4 inches of choke, or .00024 seconds to transverse the choke. After leaving the choke (assuming no slow-down), the slug is spinning at 28,800 RPM. Yes, you read that right. Whatever minor rotation it has before hitting the choke is essentially inconsequential compared to how quickly it has to begin rotating. For sake of my math, 0 RPM to 28,800 RPM in 0.00024 seconds. 480 revolutions per second.

Like your new shooting bench; that might be one reason you haven’t done that trick before. Sighting in slug guns is no fun day at the range. I gave up on those big long shot shells for hunting waterfowl. It got to the point I only use 2¾ and 3-inch shells for hunting waterfowl. Them big old shells do kill ducks and geese better but, if you like eating them they don’t leave much left to eat a lot of times. I was hunting with an old duck hunter in a public shooting blind one time. I had a Mag 10. He looked at me when he saw that thing and said we ain’t hunting flying elephants just ducks. He was right and I was young and dumb. He said; the secret to killing ducks; is you just wait till their close young man. He was right again; and you don’t have to walk far to find them neither. The fun thing about using a Mag 10 was the echo the bad thing was; every duck for miles knows where not to go. I have two AL 390 shotguns one 12 and one 20. If I hunt little woodland beaver ponds I take the 20 and it does a fine job. Something to think about. You should leave that scope on the next time you go duck hunting for your hunting buddies to ponder why they never thought doing that before you did.

Most people don’t realize how much difference there is to using the right shot shell and choke. Most shotgun shooters buy a 12 bore and never understand the reason to use anything else. The difference in shot shells and shotguns are much harder to get right than getting a rifle to shoot well. Your video brought the memory of hunting ducks with that old grizzly faced duck hunter back. Some experiences you learn hunting; should never be forgotten.

And even the animals on range getting ready it seems by forming their own heavy armored division🤣🤣

Excellent video! Best explanation I've seen on slugs and their effectiveness. I may forget buying a rifled slug barrel combo. Thanks

I’m new to your channel, but have to say I find your tests very informative And enjoyable to watch. Im 59 and have allways owned one shotgun or another since childhood on the farm. But for the first time, I finally purchased a Benelli shotgun with changeable choke tubes! And you have been part of the education bringing me up to speed on what possible chokes to buy, and the differences between them… yep, have a Carlson’s rifled choke tube on the way… I was impressed with what that did for a foster slug. and since I use 00 buck, your other tests have certainly applied to anything I do. Just wanted to drop a thankyou.

Thanks for the great video! I have my own portable shooting bench. And I really like the idea of using a sandbag to support your elbow while using the gun rest. I will certainly give that a try next time I shoot.

Outstanding video! I had just purchased a Carlson’s rifled choke tube for my new shotgun wondering if it was the real deal…then started looking for videos. Impressive!

This was excellent shooting once again. You are a fine shot, sir. That third shot in particular through the rifled choke made no impression on the paper that I could see. It was literally through the same hole. I suppose using quality slug ammunition also helps. Shows how versatile the shotgun can be from skeet to slug! Thank you for showing this.

How refreshing it is to hear a shooter admit they flinched. This isnt a Manly Man contest its a fun sport, I appreciate that you make your videos fu. For us, the viewers. You got a new subscriber buddy

I second that last Wow! Great video, Buffalo. I appreciate how you tell it like it is, without excuses (windy day, aging eyes, I've read them all by the professional gun writers). You do straight up honest reporting. And you shoot 5 shot groups, even with these heavy hitters. I shoot 20 gauge single shots and the slugs punish me plenty. Thanks again.

My OCD was screaming for you to zero the scope first but I understood that the goal here was to focus on the grouping and that grouping was BEAUTIFUL! I've got an SDS bullpup so I am definitely sold on scoring myself a good rifled choke for it.

Now that is mighty good to know Buffalo! Okay now to check the new Maverick to see which barrel might have a screw-in choke. Then to buy a rifled choke for that barrel. It came with an improved cylinder barrel and a longer vent rib field barrel.

Another great video on the improved cylinder choke versus the Carlson's rifled improved cylinder choke. Well done Buffalo. Your making me spend more $$$ ! Also great advice on cleaning using rifled slugs - they are really dirty.
