Remember many many years ago as a lad owning an old single barrel hammer folding .410 it had a very long barrel at least 30 + inches , I was given literally a bucket of 2inch ely .410 cartridges by an old farmer in our village , I shot about 30 & decided they were pretty useless , one wet afternoon I opened one & tipped the number 6 shot out & thought about loading a ball bearing in it , then looking through some draws in the shed I found a box with I presume were various fishing weights & soon found some that fitted the .410 cartridge , thinking about wadding I decided to use hot candle wax , lit a candle & poured some in followed by the spherical weight then more candle wax , found enough shot to load 30 & could wait to try them , to my surprise they worked very well but accuracy was not good using just the bead foresight , later made the addition of a rear ramp sight off of an old air rifle , sawed about 5 inches off of the barrel & fitted the bead foresight off of the same old air gun , cut down to about 26 inches then back to testing , soon hitting an old paint tin at 100yards with the ball going clean through

[@DaltonLackey]

That’s cool sounds dangerous tho

[@nunyobuisniz713]

Fantastic video! Can’t wait to see the long distance one. Thanks again for trying out all of these .410 slugs. They are so expensive and rare it’s hard to do on your own.

[@TheHide]

Great test, appreciate the shoutout!!

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

Appreciate the slugs!

[@JGray1968]

Energy isn't the only consideration. There's a video of someone shooting Brenneke slugs and rifled slugs into ballistic gel. The Brennekes penetrated well and didn't expand much. The rifled slugs only penetrated about 3 inches, and the fragmented.

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

That was close range, but true. I saw that and it blew my mind. I thought it was a little further than 3" though...

[@rayjohn3946]

Great video Buckeye! I've shot a variety of .410 slugs our of my old H&R single shot. The Winchester 2.5" always shot the best the Brenneke shot real well but the Winchester's worked best from my 410. , ...now I cannot find much of any 410 slugs. Thanks for your video!

[@frankbrowning328]

Incredible! I'm impressed with the accuracy from the American ammo. The Breneke slugs will be the ones to penetrate best especially at close range. The Win & Rem slugs will generally fracture at very close range and not penetrate well but at long range maybe they will do well. Never saw a long range gel test on a 410 slug but that may be a good idea

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

It's a far cry from rifle accuracy (as expected), but these all certainly blow the previous slugs out of the water on not only accuracy, but power as well. I too have wondered about if the foster style .410 slugs will hold together at longer than close range- I've seen how they squash and fragment in gel close range. Something I hope to test...

[@gregheitland4392]

Forget Winchester ammo

[@nathanlambshead4778]

Thanks for the video. I have the same Stevens 301, using a cheap red dot with cylinder choke, for slugs. For me, the Brenneke wins in mine, hands down. Hitting consistent 3 shot 2.5 - 3 inch groups at 48 yards. And that is just from kneeling, no bench. I just wish I could FIND ten boxes of them.

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

Compared to my results with a scope at 40 yards, that's awesome shooting with a red dot at 48. I tried to get the cylinder bore choke but they were out of stock everywhere I looked.

[@crankygunreviews]

I just grabbed 10 boxes of Super x 3” slugs offline for about $6.80 a box because they’re rarely available in my area

I woulda to can't hardly find 410 or 16 here

[@guardianminifarm8005]

At 50 yards this would seem to be a good option for deer. A youth or beginner would benefit from this set up and any of these slugs. Thank you.

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

Just don't hit the shoulder with any other than the Brenneke which maintains it's shape, as the others "splash" on large bones if you're familiar with the term.

[@fjb4932]

I treat all ammo ( Especially 22 Long Rifle / 22 Magnum) gently. No dropping, slamming, tossing around. But then again, i'm like my ammo, Special . . .☆

[@woofbark4475]

The Rossi .410 I once owned love the Winchester standard 2 1/2 inch Slugs that were available for many years. Not certain about their weight etc! But at 80 metres those things were amazingly accurate. After finding that out I went wild boar hunting in swamps with it. Breech was relatively loose, not dangerously, id pull the trigger guard to open the breech the shell would pop out, I'd load the next and keep shooting. Got 3 in about 20 seconds with that old gun! Was great fun and proved itself very effective. I wouldn't want to stand in front of one of these at any range. Be interesting to see what damage they might do if held up at a crazy angle out to 1000 meters.

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

My Rossi youth model with a modified choke groups them good enough for 100 yard shots with the bead sight- I was blown away.

[@l.a.3887]

They all are looking pretty good 👍 👌 thanks

[@natjonestower3035]

I've always liked the brenneke's too.

[@Newtire]

1/5 oz. Rem or Win 2-1/2" slugs are closer to .38 special +P loads energy-wise. Not even up to .357 mag. If you can get good accuracy using the Brenneke slugs, I would use them. Since I handload and cast my own slugs, I have found my best accuracy and velocity load using the powder coated NOE 139 gr. Diablo slug at over 1700 FPS our of a Henry lever gun with a relatively cheap Bushnell 3-9X scope and the "Skeet " bored choke tube. I got an amazing 1-1/2" group at 50 yds. that opened up to 4-5" @100. Due to the flat nose of that thing, I'd limit the shots to 75 yds I think . I like the looks of that little single shot of yours. Keep on putting out those videos!

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

In your first 2 sentences are you referring to long guns? Because the 1/5oz 2 1/2" slugs are far more powerful than .38spl +p pistols and still more powerful than most .357mag from a pistol...

[@tylercharleson848]

What scope is that? Love the set up great video!

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

EZSHOOT or CVLIFE 1-6x24 LPVO, can't remember which. I have a review video of each in the "Parts Accessories & Optics" playlist with links.

[@busterdog6320]

What choke did you use? I have the 301 turkey version but cant shoot slugs out of it. I've looked online for what slug choke to use and found nothing.

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

Short invector

[@crankygunreviews]

I had some of those BPS ones as well, I hope they’re not junk. I got them because they were cheap

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

Well, you saw the last video lol- not good. But maybe through one of your .410's they will do better.

[@crankygunreviews]

@@BuckeyeBallistics maybe mine will work better in my full choke .410? If not, maybe I’ll break them down and melt the slugs lol. Or I’ll try them in my Governor.

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

That's only if your suspicion of them being under sized is correct. What it they're oversized? Would be cool if you included it in the video, cutting one open and measuring the diameter... surely you're going to make a video?

[@crankygunreviews]

@@BuckeyeBallistics be happy to. I’ll cut one of each slug I have open and measure them all.

[@crankygunreviews]

I’d like to do some longer range tests with 4 pellets of 000 buck once I get to the range again. I have so many things I need to test/try out, I never have enough time when I do get to the range.

[@walkerwyse1047]

Remember something people not every gun shoots the same brand slug the same find iut what slugs are most accurate in your gun

[@mariofilippi3539]

Excellent results at 40 yards I'd say. Only USA-made ammo is capable of achieving that but unfortunately it's in short supply and a box of 5 rounds would be at least 8 bucks nowadays. I admire you in pushing the limits of the .410 slug and am looking forward to that video. Thanks and God bless.

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

Glad to have you aboard

[@kentwilliams3326]

I was REALLY impressed with the close range (7 yard) performance of .410 000 buckshot for defense against bears. The 000 buckshot at that range is still lined up in a row. Penetration is "crazy" effective even though the velocity is low.

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

Low velocity? Winchester 000 buck is 1300fps in .410, 12 gauge 1325fps...

[@kentwilliams3326]

@@BuckeyeBallistics well sir, Paul choreographed them at ~ 900 fps and I will attach what Federal list as their velocity for their premium 000 .410 load. Shot Size: 000 Buck Muzzle Velocity: 850

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

Those are handgun velocities, not shotgun. You know there are handguns that shoot .410 shells right, and that Federal make rounds specifically for them?

[@jeff62327]

how did you get so much Bernneke ammo? I've lived in three different states in the last couple years and can't find on box of 12ga or 410.

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

Networking. I can't ever find the .410 either, even online- unless I want to pay $3-$4 per shot on a certain auction website and even then it's hard to find. Friend of mine in another state, their local shop had them. I couldn't believe it either...

[@tjfm59]

have 1 store chain in my area that handles the brand. had to head to the store out in the boonies to get some black magic for bear in the camp gun. also found some green lighting & the new orange lighting. curios on the topas. these look like setup for fully rifled barrel. by the way all in 12ga.

[@ronnieard2521]

I really would like to know where. Did you get the Brenneke slugs from? I can't find there anywhere around here.

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

As stated in the video, a (out of state) buddy found them for me- he got them from a local no-name gun shop. I still can't find them either, online or local...

[@rebelyankee4910]

Havent watched it all yet, but can't beat the Winchester standard. Although I do use the Bernakes in 12 ga. For deer. Just as good.😊

[@eddieb4227]

When you look at the brenneki ballistics and jell tests. Nothing else comes close.

[@nunyobuisniz713]

I also wanted to ask if you have heard of b&p .410 home guardian slugs they are 3" 5/16oz 1800 fps rated. I picked up a bunch when I just couldn't find any brennekes and was getting desperate. The are Italian made and all I can say about them is that the box is fancy looking, cause I haven't shot any yet.

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

No but I think I have seen their birdshot before. After my experience with all the other imported slugs, I'd wager they are probably crap. The Barnaul were the only ones so far that shot worth a damn for me that weren't Win, Rem, or Brenneke.

[@Dw40-outdoors]

What’s the choke setup your using. I’m having a hard time trying to find a actual answer on what choke I should probably have in so I don’t blow my threads out

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

Was stated in the video but I.C. Less choke is better with slugs, but cylinder bore, skeet, and I.C. are all fine. You can get away with modified but accuracy will suffer slightly.

[@eduffy4937]

On a .410 you can use any choke. Yes that's correct. The "fins" on a foster style slug do not actually make the slug spin stabilize, they're merely axrush zone when passing through a choke. On remingtons box it says right on top "may be used in Any choke"

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

@eduffy - He implied that he has interchangeable chokes. Since he has the option, there should be no reason for him to use a modified or fuller if he doesn't have to, as accuracy will suffer. I have tested the effect different chokes have on slug accuracy before (video).

[@eduffy4937]

@@BuckeyeBallistics yeah but to each gun it's own. I have a fixed full on a shotgun and that thing can dang near stack slugs one on top of another at 50yards. Just gotta play around and see what it likes best.

Something that amuses me is using ounce weight to refer to slugs. It's absurd. 1 ounce = 437.5 grains which everyone understands. 1/2 ounce is 218.75 grains. That's a more easily understandable metric for most firearms folks. That's a heavy .357 or a light .44, so let's go with those more easily comprehensible figures.

In a survival situation, you may starve to death when the animal runs off because it saw you trying to get closer to it. I like how you think it will just stand there and wait for you to shoot it at whatever distance you choose...

@@BuckeyeBallistics you have to track down your game. Even if it runs off. The skill of the hunt..

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

You realize you're talking to a hunter right? Not one single deer I've shot needed tracked because they dropped within eyesight because I am a marksman and know how to place my shots on game. Funny you mention SKILL, because skill is what I have which is why my deer have never needed tracked. Regardless, none of this changes the fact that you greatly risk the animal hearing or spotting you if you try creeping up on it closer than 100 yards. With all the brown squirrels I've had to find against the brown leaves and never lost a single one, I'm sure I can find something dead that's 1000 times larger that kicks up leaves everywhere it runs. But you go ahead and think you're going to sneak up on it 50 yards closer in crunchy leaves without it taking off on you...
