- Patterning some 00 and 000 buckshot loads at 50 yards through the Trulock Choke Tubes Boar Blaster choke tube. This is an unusual design for a choke tube as I explain in the video.

Those 18 pellet loads were what? 2 oz. ???!!! You totally got me with the slo-mo segment. Very funny.
The charts say OO buck weighs 53.8 grains per pellet x 18 = 968 grains total.
That's over 2.2 ounces of lead. Son-of-a-b**** that's gotta hurt.
Yes they are 2 1/4 oz loads so are the copper plated turkey loads and they kick exactly the same I bought a Remington 870 super mag in 2000 shot maybe 5 and traded it for a flat bottom John boat lol
It would be funny as hell but I don't think they make a 3 1/2 inch chamber single shot I couldn't image it ! I had a Remington 870 supermag in 3 1/2 and when we would shoot clays we casually slip one in the tube on someone when they wouldn't notice and damn was it worth it ! Priceless!

😄👍
That slow motion 3.5" magnum recoil, was absolutely hilarious!😂😂😂
I wasn't expecting that!
Another good demonstration!👍👍
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed that!
It was awesome. Took me a few seconds to get to catch on. At first I thought wait, it didn't look like that🤣
The slo-mo was great !
Buffalo... you may have discovered the true meaning of the phrase "gun violence" ...lol
LOL That's funny!
I found in my shotgun the bigger the buck, the bigger the pattern. Ive finally stayed with 2 3/4 #1 buck with an x-full choke. Its the tightest patterns at 40 yards. 11 pellets i can cover with my hand and 3 flyers. I'll live with it.
LOL them 3.5" great slow mo😂👍
So much detail
you got me with that slow motion recoil. i was thinking to myself "man it didn't seem that bad at regular speed" and then it kept getting worse. laugh out loud funny.
It reminded me of one of those Girls Gun Fails videos.
LOL Glad you enjoyed it.
His channel deserves alot more subscribers. He makes extremely good review videos and testings.
Agreed. OG from OGs Danger Show sent me. Good advice.
Smart alec! The fight with your gun made me grin. I also like your disclaimer about the sample size. This vid is up to your usual excellent standards. Thanks, Buff.
Thanks my friend!
This channel is criminally undersubscribed
Agreed, it is one of the best. Keep em coming Buffalo!
You had me going with that slow mo for a few seconds. I was thinking, “What the hell is he doin?” 😂
LOL! I try to throw some humor in every now and then to break up the longer videos. Glad you enjoyed it!
Me too
I actually got a really nice 50 yard pattern out of the remington 8 pellet 000 buck with a plain ol improved cylinder choke, it even exceeded some of the boar blaster patterns. It also put a single pellet through a gallon jug at 80 yards as well. Nicely done video!!
I haven't tried any 8 pellet yet. I think I have some here though. I'll have to give it a try.
Hey Buffalo, I really like your folksy videos. I have never used a shotgun with interchangeable chokes, all I have is a old Browning Auto 5 with a factory full choke. It has been over 50 years since I patterned that old gun but I can tell you when I did I had the muzzle at 50 yds. not my eyes at 50 so I guess I was actually over 51 yds when I did. I remember very well that my patterns were at least 4-12 inches tighter than what the interchangeable chokes provided mine were all 2 3/4 and 3". Those interchangeable were not too bad with the 2 3/4 but the 3" forget it my fixed was way better than that. I think you convinced me to never use those at least for deer hunting and stick with my fixed choke. It would probably be better just to purchase a second barrel for birds and rabbits and use the interchangeables for that as you could just over choke if necessary to get the pattern you are looking for.
Keep those vids coming the more I watch the more I know I will stick with what I have they are tried and true.
I'm not even a gun guy, (just a 2A guy), and the slo-mo gave me a laugh.
Awesome!
You might need to get a restraining order on that shotgun.
LOL YES!
Fight scene was epic,you needed a get off me gun on that one lol!!! Just about pissed myself, had to rewatch the next 5 minutes due to laughter
LOL I'm glad you enjoyed it! I try to sneak something funny in every now and then ;)
I was a few seconds into the slow-mo replay before I realized what was going on. Thanks for the laugh. Excellent content as well. Thanks.
That recoil slow motion was "unbelievable!" 😂🤣
Them Remington 3" 000 looked really good to me
Wow, never realized just what I was missing now that I see the slow mo ! 😊 Sure is a lot happening in that millisecond ! 😊
Good review on the choke!
Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
That's right! THe slow motion really opened my eyes.
Great video on a topic I have been very interested in. Thank you.
I have been patterning with the Trulock Deerstroyer, which is the same as the Boar Blaster, over the last two months. I wasn't convinced that it was doing anything differently or better than a Trulock full. I contacted Trulock and asked what type of ammo performed the best for them with the Deerstroyer and George himself responded. He said that the best pattern obtained by them was with Dead Coyote buckshot with the next best being the Federal Vital Shok buffered, not the Flite Control version.
Yesterday, I shot Federal 3" 00 15 pellet loads out of the Trulock Deerstroyer, a Trulock full and a Trulock extra full at 35 yards.
Shooting at a 14-1/2" circle on a 2' x 2' paper backer at 35 yards the Deerstroyer's best target was 10 pellets in the 14-1/2"circle and consistently had 7 out of 15 pellets in the circle. All Deerstroyer shots had 15 out of 15 on the 2' backer
The best target with the full choke was 6 out of 15 in the circle and 10 out of 15 on the backer.
The best target with the extra full was 5 out of 15 in the circle and 7 out of 15 on the backer.
After yesterday, I am finally convinced that the Trulock Deerstroyer (Boar Blaster) does what it is designed to do. I suppose I was expecting more drastic results but better is better.
Love the slo-mo I slipped off of my chair laughing. Thank you Buffalo for the first belly laugh of the day.
That was some kind of recoil. Lol! Interesting choke tube. I think testing it more is a great plan.
Great review Buffalo! The pattern with the 000 was amazing! I’m gonna have to get this choke now, just to see how tight the patterns are at 20, 30 and 40 yds., as well as 50!
Hint for future videos, use a magic marker to draw a small circle around each pellet hit, they show up much better. Thanks again!
Buffalo deserves more subs! This is some of the most entertaining content on Pootube.
11:13 is some really eye opening stuff we rarely get to see in super slow mo 😂👍🏽😎.
Keep it up sir!
Ha! Glad you saw that. I through that in there to kinda break up the long video ;) Glad you liked it!
I was expecting a regular slo mo and yet again was caught off guard by some of your good humour..
I appreciate what you do and now that I'm subscribed, I'll be binge watching your channel for awhile..
Man some 18 pellet 3.5" magnum is some serious firepower.. America!!
20 minute video? Oh this is gonna be great! Got some coffee, I'm ready to watch. *:-)*
LOL might need a beer and some popcorn 😂👍
Thanks for hanging in there! I know these patterning videos can get monotonous at times!
@@buffalosoutdoors LOL 😂 👍
I purchased a boar blaster and couldn't be happier I have shot deer at 80 yards with my Remington 1100 26 inch barrel with no problems,I highly recommend the boar blaster
when you shot your deer, was it with a slug or buckshot? If buckshot, which one?
Never boring always useful
Buffalo that was champ!!!! that fight with your shotgun! seriously genius.
I didn’t know that you’re a comedian, too!! Very funny slo-mo!
Grace and Peace 😊
We were using choke with steps in 'em back in the mid'90's for card shooting guns. They were awesome!
Buckshot is always an interesting topic to me
Love the slow motion lol! Thanks for the video.
Glad you liked it! Thank you for watching and leaving the comment!
You have a voice that is easy to listen to, good "clean" personality and do interesting things... But your camera has been found wanting.
That slow motion recoil was awesome! Can't believe it beat you up so bad.
Loved the slow mo!!!
That 3.5 magnum recoil is why I traded the turkey express I had. I can't see how turkey hunting would be enjoyable if all you can think about is shoulder pain. The I'm going to do a slow motion was hilarious.
That recoil was so strong it made my side hurt from laughing 🤣 👍
LOL! Then I did my job! I am glad I got some people to laugh. Thanks for watching and commenting on my vids man, I appreciate it.
Wow... that looked like a powerhouse.
All of those loads pack a punch!
Great and thorough review! Damn, those 3.5" really moved you! Hell, I almost felt that!
LOL! THey sure did! Thanks for watching my videos man. I know you are busy as well so thanks for stopping by.
@@buffalosoutdoors never too busy to watch your vids brother! Keep em coming! I definitely enjoy them!
Excellent comparative analysis. Well done.
Seriously?!?! I totally thought that slow mo recoil was real at first!!! Got me good w that one man... Hilarious!!!
LOL! I am glad to hear you got a good laugh out of that! Thanks!
That fist to buttstock fight was worth a sub all by itself. HI-LARIOUS.
You are just the best. Thank you for the interesting video and for letting me watch a real shotgun fight.
The 000 looked like the best pattern. And they definitely hit harder. Pattern string length also makes a big difference. A good slow motion of the pattern just before impact will show that. Often times animals react so fast when the first pellets hit that the other slower pellets won’t hit them.
My Kentucky brother. You're crazy. That slow motion sequence was very funny. Thanks. I needed a good laugh. Whooped ya good.
LMAO!!! The music in the beginning and end was great also.
THanks! I am glad you got a good laugh out of that! I threw that in to help break up the video because I knew it was gonna end up being another long one.
Hey Buffalo - I know, here I am again... But, we at FLETC (Federal Law Enforcement Training Center) used to qualify the U.S. Coast Guard with their 12 gauge shotguns with 00 Buck Shot. They would shoot 5 shot strings and then we were to score the targets. At first it seemed extremely difficult, but when we divided a target into 4 sections with a felt tip and then counted the hits in each quadrant it became easy. FWIW
LOL!!! Laughed my ass off at the slow-mo of the mag load.
Slow motion 😂 trulock do make nice chokes I use Carlson my self great video 👍👍
The Carlson's are fine too!
Lol of the slo mo with the shotgun kickback....Good info on the testing as alot more needs to be done but so time consuming for you....Makes some good sense as thanks for the hard work....Good stuff...
Yes I still have a lot of work to do but I'm headed in the right direction in finding the best load for this tube. Once I get that figured out I will post a part 2.
A great help is to patching holes with those little color circle stickers. They make a ton of colors so you can shoot same target and know which rounds are patterning where.
Edit: you can pen in the round used on the patches. I’m really particular with my firearms.
LOL what a fight!, cracked me right up! Had to watch it twice ;)
That's a lot of work - appreciate it!
Thanks! It was a lot of work and in the end I didn't get the closure I was hoping for but that's the way it works out sometimes. Now I know what I need to do to finish the testing and see if this tube really is better than the standard factory tube.
These vidoes you do make sense. They serve a purpose. Cant say that about most gun channels.
Well thank you for that!~
@@buffalosoutdoors yeah man just keep it up. Here latley shotguns have been my go to for hunting being the scrub is so thick down here. And alot of my questions get answered before i even ask em on this channel. Good practical stuff. Not a bunch of burrying guns in the mud then complaining when they jam.
The triple ought target seemed better to my old eyes!
You know what, looking at the video I think you're right. It actually had a good pattern and when you figure it's larger pellets carrying more energy it probably did the best out of all of them.
I thought you were gonna use that load also... that load would’ve done its business dead on pattern
great video. 3 1/2 are like a cannon wow..I have a beretta a400 xtreme. I want to try these in. you saved me some pattern time.
Glad you found it helpful! Thanks!
Wow Buffalo that was some hard hitting recoil! Great video to and a nice looking shot gun.Thanks.
Thanks!
I learn something from every one of your videos, really good all around. The slow motion recoil was hilarious.
Down goes Buffalo , Down goes Buffalo ..Beretta 1 -- Buffalo 0 . cool slo mo
LOL! Beretta for the win!
ROFL recoil slow motion was hilarious.
That's one HECK!!! of a recoil. LET'S DO IT AGAIN!!!!!!!
it is amazing what you miss at normal speed! And the award for best recoil reaction in a modern 12 gauge video goes to....
All of my turkey chokes are stepped like that. Great video
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Great show bro, LOL on the slow mo, didn't see that coming.
THanks! I threw that in there to have a little fun. I knew this was gonna be a long video so I thought some humor about halfway through might help ;)
Very informative, thank you sir.
That is my all time favorite gun video. Lol
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Ok, ya had me on the slow mo replay, all the way to 5 or 6 seconds into. That was awesome Buffalo ! 😂
Buffalo...you came out of nowhere with that slow-mo & sent me into a giggle fit! I haven't laughed like that in some time. Epic video, thanks!
That's great to hear! I figured I'd try to slip some humor in to help break up the long video. I am glad it has gotten a good response from you guys.
@@buffalosoutdoors Your humor is more than welcome. We all love you, Buffalo.
Quench factors is everything . I use #4s&2s every bb in load is in the turkey & goes threw 1/2" plywood at 78 yards . #5 s are crazy to use at 50 or closer yards . More important for any & all , that magical sweet velocity.
Okay, that replay was funny. LoL
Great video slo mo with the 3.5😂
LOL! Glad you liked it!
Pretty funny. Good video
I absolutely love your videos buffalo. I have been watching you since the beginning. My favorite videos are your shotgun videos. I’m a shotgun kinda guy. Thanks for what you do. And I loved that slow motion video of that shotgun kicking your butt lol.
Hey thanks for sticking with me all this time! I really enjoy doing these videos. I tried to throw the slo mo in there to help make the long video a little easier to swallow. I am glad you enjoy the vids and thanks!
I tend to watch a lot of firearms videos so I'm telling you the truth when I say you never get boring when you do a long video.
As far as the slow motion portion of the video, *HOLY S%@& THAT WAS FUNNY MAN!!! :)*
You, Paul Harrell, and Hickok45 are my favs. Great personality, my friend. I actually was patterning some 00, and #4 buck with my Stevens 320 28" barrel, pump, 12 gauge today! Hell, just the 3" magnum are pretty rough. Those 3 1/2 looked brutal! My best patterns came with full choke(.700) with the #4 buck, and (.690) with the 00. I love patterning shotguns!!! My shoulder hurts, but it's worth the fun. lol
Wow you mentioned me with some heavy hitters there, I appreciate that! It is a lot of fun to get out and pattern and learn the nuances of a particular shotgun so I know where you're coming from! It's worth the pain! LOL
Yup. Better way of saying it...lol
I really enjoy you're videos! Great work, thanks👍
Hey Buffalo - I found that wet snow is a wonderful pattern test medium. 😀
EPIC super slo-mo shotgun slap session! 🤣
LOL! Glad you liked it!
LOL! Buffalo, that recoil really kicked your butt! Great Video Bro!
Blast you! You stole my thunder again! I bought one of these last summer and did a bunch of testing off camera with hopes to review it this past summer but never got it done. I also found the Federal plated 00 buck patterned the tightest of the loads I shot. Good video, guess I wont need to make one now! Lol 😂😂
hey Magnum, make one anyway. never enough input. besides its a 12 gauge vid so its a win win...
M, thanks. Yeah I probably will just because mine is the mossberg variety, but I did basically get the exact same results he did! Lol. I actually wasn’t overly impressed with the choke myself. 👍🏻
I agree. Make it anyway. If I only made videos about things nobody else had done all I'd have left would be my kayaking/shooting videos ;)
those three and half loads are fun to sneak in on a game of clays with your buddies,.."sure you can try my new Beretta, go ahead"......lol!
LOL!
I patterned buckshot all day today. My best results with 00 were with my .700, and .705 chokes. My shotgun is a standard .730 bore, 28" bbl. My best results with #4 buck were with my .665, and .680 chokes. Sounds like my .690 should do well with #1 buck, according to today's results. I got better results with the Flight Control today, with an improved cylinder(.720). Usually it does better with cylinder(.730). Go figure... I shot 2 shots with each choke.
Good info!
Was not expecting that slow mo haha
11.10 was crazy hilarious. 🤣🤣🤣 I was tripping until 10 seconds in. 🤣🤣🤣
Excellent video. ❤️ That is amazing at 50y. I would like to see this at 5y, 10y and 15y for indoor house defense.
You should NEVER use pellets that large for home defense. Overpenetration will absolutely be an issue. Cylinder choke or riot choke with #6 or #7.5 lead will take care of any 2legged issues within 25yards.
Cover then from waist to forehead.
hahaha, that slow mo part! I love it!!!
Glad you liked it! I thought it might help break up the long video format. It has gotten a good response from you guys!
Oh my, that 3” shell *REALLY* fought back, you weren’t kidding! LOL Great video Buffalo, thanks.
LOL ! It got the best of me!
Nah, I had $5 on you winning 😉
I killed a doe from 15 yards with some super x 00 3". Almost knocked me out of the ladder stand, I was reaching around the tree. Doe never took a step. Hunting the thick stuff in the swamp. Michigan.
Deadly at that range for sure!
Boy you need to beef up if a 12 guage put it on u that bad! You better never shoot a turkey load outta that gun
Hhaahhahhhahahahaahah i laughed so hard when the slow motion came!!!!! :D
:) Glad you liked that!
as always, great video, man. there has never been a video that you put out that I have not liked. great stuff here.
Thanks for that my friend! I know this video didn't necessarily end the way I wanted it too. It kinda left more questions than answers but that's the way it goes sometimes. Thanks for watching my vids!
Buffalo's Outdoors anytime brother.
Hahaha that slow motion 🤣🤣
In testing patterns, I’d bore snake the barrel between each shot. Fouling can affect patterns and if you reversed the firing sequence your best loads could be your worst, although you did say that by needed information multiple shots to get accurate consistency.
When I patterned my 1100 at 30 yards the pattern hit a little to the right of my aim point. Olight makes a light/laser combo that works well on the gun. We shoot .22/12 gauge matches, I went all out on a .22 but I'm not buying another shotgun. I put a custom choke in this one w/ the laser, it does ok.
Very nice video with lots of information. real good experience of buck shots. well done . keep it up.
Thank you! I appreciate your comment!
Hahahahaha awesome slow mo
Hey - Buffalo, I have always heard that one should pull the shotgun tight into the shoulder or suffer the consequences. And, it is indeed true! However, I stumbled onto to method of hip shooting (Actually under arm assault position) that greatly increased control and seemed to substantially decrease the recoil. I pulled back with my right hand (I am right handed) and pulled forward with my left hand. It is quite amazing and should also reduce the felt recoil of a shotgun fired from the shoulder.
BTW - I have read that a a standard high brass 12 gauge’s recoil is about the the same as a .375 H&H.
Correct, that is the push/pull method to reduce recoil from a shotgun!
I was taught to push/pull as if shooting a bow. My grandfather was a fan of heavy recoiling long guns. He thought I’d better learn to handle them as I’d wind up with them later on. The greatest gift is the lessons from our older generations
I use choke tubes ranging from .680 to .705, when patterning buckshot. It's all according to size(#4, #1, 00, and 000), and brand of buckshot, which choke patterns the best, at long range. In enjoy pattern testing.
It's always good to know exactly what your gun is doing with a particular constriction/load combo!
Yes it is, Buffalo. And it's always fun!!! Keep up the great videos, my friend.
Well, I keep searching for various things and keep ending up on one of your videos. I think I'll just go ahead and subscribe, so you can tell me what I want to know _before_ I need to search for it! Ha! Thanks for putting together such an informative channel.
Thanks for subscribing, glad to have you here at the channel! It's also good to hear that my videos actually come up when you do a search!
Hahaha! Slow mo was great! Lol! You're too funny man!
Glad you liked it!
@@buffalosoutdoors
Do you have access to a Benelli M2, Henry .410 single shot, or Henry 30-30 carbine?
000 buck always Patterns better in my SHOTGUN's....Fiocchi Defense 00 buck patterns the best in my Mossberg 500 and It is less expensive (FULL Choke )...Federal 000 buck 2 3/4 beats all my Patterns with a FULL CHOKE....I think American made AMMO is better than the Foreign made Buckshot....S + B 12 Pellet in my STOEGER mk3 with a Modified Choke puts 11-12 Pellets in a 30 inch circle, all day....All shots at 40 yards..Mr Buffalo those patterns you got with your testing where Perfect for a 50 yard shot....Thank you.
The things we do in the name of science. ... lol... now that was some crazy recoil....
LOL! So true! Thanks for stopping by man!
