.410 Slug vs Chicken EXPLOSIVE Ammo Test Meat Review 410 Deer Slug Shotgun

This YouTube video, titled 'Ducks v. Shotgun Slug *FLYING DUCKS*', appears to be a demonstration or test involving a shotgun slug and flying ducks. The title and provided hashtags suggest content from channels like Kentucky Ballistics and Demolition Ranch, often associated with firearms testing, "full auto Friday" segments, and potentially destructive testing. The use of "SHOTGUN SLUG" and "FLYING DUCKS" indicates a clear focus on firearm ammunition and a target. The presence of the #demolitionranch hashtag further implies a potentially entertaining or extreme demonstration.

This video showcases a challenging day of woodcock hunting using .410 side-by-side shotguns. It highlights the unique flight characteristics of woodcock, the importance of quick, instinctive shooting, and the effectiveness of specific .410 loads like Hull High Pheasant 18g with #4 shot for larger game. The use of a ShotKam for analysis and the role of well-trained spaniels are also featured.

This video analyzes the effective killing range of a .410 shotgun for game hunting. Using Hull Cartridge #6 shot and a Pedretti full-choke shotgun, tests at 30, 40, 50, and 60 yards reveal that 30-40 yards is the ethical maximum range for clean kills. Beyond this, the pattern density becomes too sparse, increasing the risk of wounding game.

This video compares the terminal performance of five common pistol calibers (.22LR, .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP) by shooting watermelons. The test demonstrates a significant increase in destructive power from .22LR up to .45 ACP, with the larger calibers causing more explosive expansion and fragmentation. Specific hollow-point ammunition from Speer, Aguila, and Underwood was used, highlighting the importance of bullet construction for terminal ballistics.

Buckeye Ballistics conducted a comparative test of common pistol calibers (.22LR, .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP) against concrete blocks. The host, demonstrating significant firearm and ballistics knowledge, emphasized extreme safety precautions due to ricochet risks. The test revealed that while larger calibers showed more damage, none could fully penetrate the concrete block's second wall, suggesting limitations for self-defense scenarios against hardened barriers.

This Taurus TX22 review details its performance with various .22 LR ammunition. While initially reliable with CCI Mini-Mags and cycling standard velocity rounds well, it encountered malfunctions with sub-sonic and high-velocity loads. A catastrophic failure occurred due to a squib load followed by a second shot, resulting in a bulged barrel and damaged magazine.

This video compares the terminal ballistics of .22LR, .22WMR, and .17HMR rimfire cartridges using cantaloupes as targets. The .22LR showed a clean pass-through with minor damage, the .22WMR caused an explosive front-face disintegration, and the .17HMR, despite its speed, disintegrated internally with no exit. The test highlights how different rimfire rounds perform on soft tissue simulants.
