This was a brilliant information for any serious vermin controller or hunter, we need more of this on all calibers and shot sizes please as UK American and European shot sizes are all different , we owe it to whatever you are shooting to give it a humane and quick dispatch, so information like this is essential for anyone taking it seriously! You can't test enough ammo so this information is absolutely vital to your own success in the field ..... especially in this time of ammunition shortages and supply problems that means you may have to change brand or calibre at short notice! So take note of this gentleman he is helping us all massively 😊 I have over 30 years experience and this man IS saving me time and money ! So listen up and support him 💪
Thanks mate, I appreciate it! When I was working in the industry it was often just assumed that shooters knew this stuff, which was generally pretty unhelpful to people who were just getting into hunting or needing to switch brands of shot.
I do have plans to produce more content like this at some point, but it's a little bit hard to get into it at the moment.
@@blackstumpballistics5361no worries mate keep at it , the shortage of ammo is very apparent around the world so your information is even more vital you might want to sell that a LOT more at the start of your videos 👍 plus pattern tests 👍it won't be long before you get sponsorship, from ammo brands🙏send this video to all ammo brands they will love it 💪
Good presentation
Very helpful.
I've loaded a bit of US lead #1. Usually a 1 1/2 ounce load. Works good out of a kicks x-full choke.
Aftermarket chokes are something I really should look into sometime... I just need to actually shoot my shotguns more!
What is the larger ammunition, MAX or BB?
I've actually never heard of MAX being used in describing pellet size, and haven't been able to find anything online yet. Do you have a manufacturer that sells it? I'll try to find out more
