Duration: 9:00

This video provides an expert-level comparison of Royal Buck Low Recoil 12 gauge 00 buckshot against standard Remington buckshot. Instructor Sootch00 details technical specifications, conducts pattern tests at 10 yards, and assesses recoil and penetration on OSB board. The analysis highlights that while Royal Buck offers reduced recoil, it produces wider patterns and slightly less penetration, with a strong emphasis on safety and practical application for home defense.

Quick Summary

Expert analysis by Sootch00 compares Royal Buck Low Recoil 12 gauge 00 buckshot against standard Remington buckshot. The low recoil load offers reduced muzzle flip and easier follow-up shots, though it produces wider patterns (~12 inches at 10 yards) and slightly less penetration than standard buckshot, which maintains tighter patterns but with higher recoil.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference in velocity between Royal Buck Low Recoil and Remington Express 12 gauge 00 buckshot?

Royal Buck Low Recoil 00 buckshot is rated at 1200 feet per second (FPS), while Remington Express Buckshot is rated at a higher velocity of 1325 FPS. This difference impacts recoil and pattern performance.

How does Royal Buck Low Recoil 00 buckshot pattern compared to standard buckshot?

In tests conducted at 10 yards using a Mossberg 500 with an open choke, Royal Buck Low Recoil produced a wider pattern, approximately 12 inches in diameter. Standard Remington buckshot yielded a significantly tighter pattern.

What are the recoil differences between low recoil and standard 12 gauge buckshot?

Low recoil buckshot loads, such as the Royal Buck tested, demonstrably reduce muzzle flip and felt recoil compared to standard buckshot loads. This makes them easier to manage for quicker follow-up shots.

Does low recoil buckshot still penetrate effectively for home defense?

Yes, testing on OSB board showed that while standard buckshot retained more energy, the Royal Buck Low Recoil rounds still penetrated common building materials with ease, indicating sufficient effectiveness for home defense scenarios.
