This video provides an expert analysis of the Winchester 1897 Trench Gun's performance with original WWI-era buckshot. Featuring Ian McCollum and Matt Haught, it details historical ammunition challenges and compares vintage patterning with modern advancements like Federal FliteControl. The analysis includes practical tests at 10 and 25 yards, shell dissections, and a 'wetproof' test, offering valuable insights into firearm and ammunition evolution.
This video analyzes the differences between various types of buckshot ammunition, categorizing them into three generations. It details how the materials and coatings of the shot influence performance, specifically focusing on deformation and spread. The discussion highlights 1st Gen uncoated lead shot's tendency to flatten, 2nd Gen copper-coated shot's reduced deformation, and 3rd Gen copper-plated and cushioned shot's zero deformation. A specific mention is made of Federal FliteControl technology, which further enhances shot control with an advanced wad cup design that keeps the shot payload together for a longer duration after firing compared to conventional wads.
