Federal Copper Plated 3" 10 Pellet 000 Buck Test W/ Remington 870 & Kicks Buck Kicker Full Choke

[@tommyj1811]

Good stuff, thanks Matt. So many ammo and choke tube combinations to get the pattern just right. I appreciate the hard work and expense.

[@matttyreeoutdoors]

Thanks, glad you enjoy!

[@LogisticallyMisrepresented]

They should advertise that as the foot buster wad.!

[@matttyreeoutdoors]

Yeah, I wasn't expecting it to do that, that's for sure

[@robertblumer2578]

Plated Buck Shot does not deform as much as soft lead. The math; .36” + .36” = .720” + .010” plastic wad fingers = .730” Through a .693” choke is jamming it !!!

[@matttyreeoutdoors]

These kind of wads tend to snag on the porting in Kicks chokes anyway, so I think the larger pellets just caused it to jam up more than usual

[@FISHUNTREECOUNTRY]

Yesss

[@PayneBoysOutdoors]

I do appreciate the video it is good but typically when we pattern we do a three-shot with pattern

[@AdrianRuss-f1l]

Maybe that 000 is over constricted? I would like to see that load though I modified, or improved modified.

[@matttyreeoutdoors]

It is a possibility. We may try that some time soon

[@danz0007]

I have put 000 buckshot through a full choke and then tried it through a modified and had the pattern open up considerably, just my experience with rem 870 with 24" barrel and factory chokes

[@bestestusername]

Interesting, I was watching a mason outdoors 3030 Remington low recoil 125gr shoot today and he had an issue where one bullet was made with the projectile reversed! A bit of weird stuff going on with american ammo?

[@matttyreeoutdoors]

Stuff like that just comes down to quality control. Some companies are way better than others with it

[@danz0007]

I shoot Winchester 000 3" out of my 870 24" barrel with factory full choke with great results , two hunting friends do the same but use the federals out of factory full choke so maybe these specialty brand chokes are a bit of nothing more than a money maker ? Just saying , thanks for the video

[@matttyreeoutdoors]

That's what I kinda thought as well, but after testing this Buck Kicker, I can tell you that it absolutely makes a difference. If you use buckshot a lot, I would definitely say that it's worth picking one up

[@danz0007]

LOL , well if you have a new one that will fit a rem 870 and want to send it to me to try I'm game ! 👍

[@robertross3358]

Another shot ... or two ???

[@browntownorganics2172]

Yes especially since there was an issue.

[@matttyreeoutdoors]

It may not have been a bad idea for this instance. We may revisit it at some point soon

[@SixTwoHemi]

I’m shadow banned on YT for some strange reason. I will reach out to you on IG for some testing.

[@matttyreeoutdoors]

I've had similar issues like that with not being able to answer comments recently as well. I've found that if you try and contact a youtube rep about it, it magically fixes itself for a little while. Like hmm, I wonder why that could ever be haha
