Came across your page by accident...stayed and subscribed for the content and your clear examples of the reload process...you rock brother!

[@thereindeertherabbitthebat592]

Man! I been trying to get set up for loading 000, 36cal stuff forever & now that I'm finally doin it, I want the quad 🤣!!! Good stuff, thanks for sharing. Be safe 👍

[@jmartin9059]

*0000 'quad-Ought' buckshot might work better in 10 gauge or 8 gauge. .490" or.495" stack in pairs in a 1" bore PUNT GUN. PROBABLY, the 'punt gun' is best enjoyed MOUNTED to a punt or 'boat'. I do remember Wade mentioning that .29" and .31" shot work very well on deer.... from 12 or 20 gauge NORMAL shotguns.*

[@patwarson217]

Well with a couple of practice loads I finally got these quad loads to work,i had the dimpling issue,but I loaded up 15 rounds finally and went to my range I tried 3 different chokes In my 11-87 super mag with my best results being at 40 yard's but my Mossberg 835 and the kicks choke I got consistent 8 pellets out to 90 yard's same with my 870 pump and just for laughs i sent 2 through my old Marlin goose gun 36" full choke,switched to my rifle range 150 yard's and both shells put 5 out of 8 pellets in a 7" circle at 150 Yard's and penetrated 2 sheets of 3/4" marine plywood,mr,rush you have taken what use to be a limited range weapon and turned it Into a deer killer out to 30-30 ranges I appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge

Years ago the oldtimers would load 000 hardcast wheel weights with a mark5 type skirt from greenhouse window poly plastic, around to flow smoothly thru rough barrels. Seemed to get 40 yard deer groups with original bluedot and 800x. Reminds me of the good ol boys! Venison and pork bacon with onion!!!!!!!

[@AmericanArmsChannel]

not bad for a 3" 12ga load and 0000. 10ga keeps the big 0000 pellets a bit tighter at range, but it would be interesting to see the same loads put down-range with a "over-bore" 12 like the Mossberg and Winchester offerings.

Those smaller shot sizes are typically called F and T shot. Old school waterfowl loads, used to be fairly common back when geese could be hunted with lead

[@outdoorswithroostercurrie6984]

Another awesome video. I grew up hunting Deer with Buckshot in front of Dogs in North Carolina. As a matter of fact I never killed a Deer with a Rifle until I was in the Army at 23 YO. I noticed these loads were good, but not as tight as some of the other loads I’ve seen you test before. Was this due to the Larger 0000 Buckshot or was it a different Choke constriction that caused the difference?

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

My Stoeger does okay with the Quads but does way better with the #000! If I put my 28" barrel on the old 870, it does a little better with the Quads!

[@outdoorswithroostercurrie6984]

Bubba Rountree Outdoors I’ve never done any shotgun reloading, but I’m getting interested in doing some shotgun shell Reloading. Do you have any preferences of loading equipment for shotguns?

[@millertime5517]

Bubba Never been much of a blue dot fan with years of experience reloading and shooting in trap leagues with Annies involved. Haha Seems when it got dark you could always see a flame of fire from the end of gun barrels from people using blue dot. I saw in your last video you using longshot. Personally I’ve saw a lot of coyotes over the last +10 years take dirt naps from my buddies and I using about 31-32 grains of longshot using 4 buck and or T’s using a AA12R in just a plain Jane AA Hull. And Personally just seeing what I’ve seen over the years I Wouldn’t shoot any other load for home defense either.
