Videos tagged with Game Loads

This video demonstrates the significant impact of ammunition type and distance on shotgun patterns. It highlights how different loads, from birdshot to slugs, behave uniquely when fired from a cylinder bore shotgun at 10 and 20 yards. The instructor emphasizes the importance of range testing to understand your specific shotgun and ammunition combination for effective application, particularly in defensive scenarios.

This video focuses on turkey hunting loads and ammunition, suggesting that while specific turkey loads are ideal, other ammunition types can also be effective for hunting turkeys. The title implies a practical approach to successful turkey hunting, exploring alternatives when specific loads might not be readily available or the primary focus.

This YouTube Shorts video introduces a new straight-wall cartridge, a type of ammunition gaining popularity for certain hunting applications. The video highlights the emergence of this caliber and implies its potential benefits for hunters, likely focusing on its suitability for lever-action rifles and certain modern firearms designed for straight-wall cartridges. The short format suggests a quick overview and introduction to the topic.

This video tests the effectiveness of different shotgun shell shot sizes (#7.5, #6 lead, and #7 steel) on squirrel-sized gel blocks at various distances (20, 30, and 40 yards). The instructor, using a 12-gauge full choke shotgun, demonstrates penetration and pellet impact at each range, concluding that all tested shot sizes are capable of taking squirrels ethically up to 30 yards, with performance diminishing at 40 yards.

This YouTube video features a chronograph test of .22LR high and hyper velocity defense/game loads. The description lists various equipment used in the video, including steel targets, cameras, ballistic gelatin powder, scales, calipers, hearing protection, safety glasses, and different types of splatter targets. The video aims to provide data on the performance of these specific .22LR ammunition types, likely for defense or game hunting applications.

This video details an advanced double gunning technique for shooting high-flying clay pigeons, as demonstrated at 'The Quarry,' potentially Britain's highest clay shooting location. The technique involves a shooter firing both barrels of one gun, then quickly passing it to a loader to receive the second gun, allowing for continuous firing. The participants emphasize the challenge and enjoyment of shooting difficult, high birds, comparing it to hunting high pheasants.

This video explores the effectiveness of shotguns for hunting game at extended ranges, specifically focusing on 100 meters. The instructor uses pattern boards to test various loads, including 32-gram #5 shot, 50-gram BB shot, and a 28-gram high-velocity load. The results indicate that while some hits are possible at 100 meters, consistent, clean kills are unlikely, especially with smaller shot sizes. The video emphasizes the importance of ethical hunting practices and understanding ammunition limitations at range.

This video provides a comprehensive explanation of game cartridges, detailing their components and how they influence performance. It covers essential aspects like case length, wad types (fiber vs. plastic), load weight, and shot size, emphasizing that consistency and clean kills are paramount. The instructor advises against excessive cartridge experimentation, recommending finding a reputable brand that works well and sticking with it for consistent shooting results.
