This video compares 12, 20, and 410 gauge shotguns for turkey hunting, focusing on patterning, penetration in gel blocks, recoil, and cost per round using Federal TSS ammunition. The tests reveal that while all gauges can be effective at close range, the 12 gauge offers the most energy and penetration, the 20 gauge provides a balance of performance and reduced recoil, and the 410 offers a challenging, intimate hunting experience with sufficient pattern density for closer shots.

This video reviews Panzer Defense 12 Gauge 00 Buckshot, testing its patterning performance at 20 yards with cylinder, modified, and full chokes. The reviewer notes the ammunition's affordability and its potential use for tactical or law enforcement applications. While the cylinder bore choke produced a surprisingly tight pattern, the modified and full chokes showed less consistent results, with some shots deviating from the intended aim point. The reviewer compares the Panzer Defense buckshot to Winchester brand ammunition, finding the latter to pattern significantly tighter.

This review of the Remington 870 Wingmaster 12 Gauge shotgun highlights a significant issue with its sighting system, causing it to shoot low. Despite this, the shotgun demonstrated impressive patterning performance with an improved cylinder choke at 20 yards, producing tight groups with various loads. The reviewer emphasizes the importance of patterning your firearm before use, especially for clay shooting.

This review of the Savage Model 24 combination gun covers its operation, including breaking it open, selecting barrels, and firing. The presenter details choke measurements, discusses the viability of firing slugs through modified chokes, and demonstrates patterning and accuracy tests for both the .22 WMR and 20 gauge barrels at various ranges. The review highlights the firearm's utility as a survival tool.

This review of the Mossberg 500 Tactical 12 Gauge shotgun covers its features, including the pistol grip, adjustable stock, and ghost ring sights with a fiber optic front. The video demonstrates patterning with various loads (7.5, 6, 5, 4 birdshot, 4, 1 buckshot, and double-aught buckshot) at 7 yards and 25 yards, and steel targets at 50 yards. The presenter notes the shotgun favors high on patterns and discusses recoil, attributing increased felt recoil to the lightweight design and minimal butt pad.
