Maverick 88 Slug Gun and Federal Trophy Copper Slugs

[@buffalosoutdoors]

I mentioned at the start of the video that this is the Maverick 88 fully rifled slug gun but I am still getting comments asking if it has a rifled barrel. So, if you're wondering, yes, it does have a rifled barrel. Thanks for watching and Happy New Year!

[@mrdinme.4768]

Happy New year to you and yours as well! I wanted to say, thank you for the Eagle Six gear suggestion. I ordered a couple shirts and the hat I asked about, love it. Was wondering also if maybe you could do a comp video of a Taurus v Charter Arms, if you have each of similar build? I might call them inexpensive as opposed to cheap revolvers, or just affordable in todays market. Thanks again! I Enjoy your videos!

[@taofledermaus]

That is a good group even IF you were using a scope! Happy new year!

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Happy new year! Thanks for all the help you've given me.

[@KargoMaster]

I sure enjoy watching multiple channels, I want you both to know that when we see greetings and salutations between content creators, it helps you both!! Happy New Year fellas!

[@garyK.45ACP]

TFM...I like your videos, but you should spend more time reviewing ammunition we can actually buy and use. The oddball, homemade stuff is entertaining, but really useless information. Show me things I can buy and use.

[@234dB]

Happy new Year Buffalo🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@christopherch7307]

Have Buffalo join yall some day.

[@chrishelms1967]

That slug is a dang thing of beauty 😊

[@justinyates5917]

Wow, these slugs performed beautifully. I think i might go buy a box or two.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

I'm going to get some more as well.

[@SVTBansheeman]

Buy one box of each type you find. You need to see which type YOUR shotgun likes 👍

[@forestrebock3545]

“Ballistic tap water”. Love it

[@YellowHammer26]

👍👍Freedom is the greater good is one of my favorite sayings now thanks to you. Those slugs looked pretty impressive, appreciate everything you do thanks Buffalo and hope your 2024 is awesome.

[@kenycharles8600]

I'm glad you have a good source of ballistic tap water. It seemed to work really well with those ballistic jugs.

[@texasfarmer3367]

Buffalo, your videography is just outstanding. Great job. I always look forward to your next video. Thanks. Happy new year.

[@johncashwell1024]

No, Buffalo, thank you! Love your stuff! It would be nice if someone over at Federal Ammunition would offer up some various 12 gauge, 16 gauge. 20 gauge and .410 "test articles" on at least a one-off basis for you test out. Who knows!?! Maybe it could even be a companion series with our friends, Officer Greg & Jeff of Taofledermaus. Your 2 channels, well, actually 3 channels with OG's new-ish channel, are absolutely my favorites because y'all remind me of the good people and great, life-long friends I made when I was in law enforcement back in the 90s in Eastern North Carolina.

[@redfaux74]

OG has his own channel now. I love it. ❤

[@johncashwell1024]

@redfaux74 I know! I forgot to include that, thank you, I will 'edit' that immediately!

[@buckshotaaa]

Great shooting and great presentation as always. looking forward to watching more of the same in 2024. Happy new year Buff to you and yours. Best wishes from England.

[@DrJonez]

3:40 That's nice how you bring the chronograph and target views forward without compromising the view from where you're shooting, I saw the video when you first got the slug gun and you had to go check if you hit every time this is much better :)

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Glad you like that. It's more work on the editing side but I think it's worth it.

[@WilliamCollins-sh6lm]

It's long past time that they made good large caliber. expanding bullets !!!

[@BoomStickTactical]

That's a heck of a round.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

It sure is. Thanks for stopping by man!

[@jamiejohnston4983]

My favorite gun channel for sure. I wish I could support more myself

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Happy New Year! You are supporting by watching and commenting and I appreciate it!

[@christopherch7307]

Squirrel gun RIG !!! about time ya bring one on the channel this year😂. 👍🐿👍

[@ammohead73]

"Ballistic Tap Water" LOL!!! I'll be stealing that saying... That slug performed beautifully in the jugs, perfect!

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Haha! It's that ky water treatment process!

[@nowhereman108]

Great presentation as usual, Sir Buffalo! Happy New Year!

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Happy new year!

[@alexakamarbles]

Big fan of solid copper

[@thomasholohan4090]

Very informative. You don't always need a large sample when results are clear, e.g. does a parachute save lives.

[@independentthinker8930]

Looks like a muzzle loader bullet in a sabot. Good shootin!

[@L.V-Rider]

That is what I wanted to say but you said it so I just confirm.

[@OGsDangerShow]

Impressive slug! A great 50y group and great expansion in water. I think I’ve got a few boxes of those somewhere; didn’t realize they were so valuable. All the best in ‘24 Buffalo!

[@buffalosoutdoors]

I may have over paid for them.. but they do seem to work well! I always appreciate you stopping by brotha!

[@tomgensel4134]

That's really impressive. Must be the special "ballistic" water😅. Thanks and have a blessed 2024 🇺🇲

[@jamesrose1641]

I love ballistic tap water!!!!

[@INvalidSYNapse]

Those are what i keep on the sidesaddle for my mav!😄

[@billdye3530]

Pretty awesome performance with grouping & expansion. Right now there are a bunch of people trying to find some for next year. Be pretty good for bear hunters also. Sure put them down quick. Appreciate the info. Have a great year. 🙏👍💥🎯

[@garytrainer1690]

That was a perfectly done demonstration. I have left here with no questions. And enjoyed some of your time very much. Good stuff as always Buff. 👍👍🙏

[@JoeyOutlaw]

These are great Sabot Slugs! The only 2 slugs i use are #1 Remington Accutip Sabot Slugs & #2 Federal Trophy Copper Sabot Slugs. They are by far my most expensive bullet to fire. So all you guys out their complaining about the price of 5.7 cant eat s*** try spending $5.00/Shot A box of 5 of each of these is 24.99 at Cabelas. Between how many the gun holds, my side saddle & stock sleeve i have just under $200.00 in shells on my shotgun alone lol Imo nothing beats the performance of these slugs. The accuracy & penetration are second to none. They basically turn your shotgun into a big bore rifle. Great upload brother. Happy New Year🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@redfaux74]

You sure can't argue with this performance....

[@chad2775]

It's so cool how regular people can just now own and use the kind of cameras that get THAT kind of amazing slowmo capture of such high energy, high speed events

[@EspritBerlin]

Thank you and have a happy 2024!

[@mariofilippi3539]

First off, Happy New Year Buffalo. That group at 50 yards is excellent. Thanks.

[@johnelder4273]

Thank you Buffalo! Always informative and entertaining. May the Good Lord bless you and yours throughout 2024 and my He bless all of America. Edit: Man, that was best three shot group atv50 yards, without using a scope, that I've ever seen with a shotgun. That would be a pretty darn good group if you shot that with an AR with iron sights. There ain't nothing wrong with your eyes, you must have 20/18 vision.

[@johnward8846]

Gotta find out where to get me some "ballistic tap water" Great and fun channel Thanks

[@thehorseman8271]

Thanks again... Good 1st for this year

[@gillysguns9244]

That ballistic tap water really made a pretty flower! Nice shooting with that mav88. Happy new year!!!

[@joesephkingston1621]

Excellent video. You almost had an auto ejecting configuration in the sled.

[@infidel24]

Happy New Year God bless

[@PassivePortfolios]

Good group, good marksmanship, good expansion. Not so good price. But you get what you pay for. Have to get me some of that ballistic water to run some tests. Thanks for so many videos over the years and a Happy New Year to you and your loved ones.

[@chrisgabbert658]

👍😊 they work.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

👍

[@bigdog33bad]

Looking forward to watching your videos for years to come! Have a great New Year!

[@benjaminbrown1179]

Well them! Great performance

[@merlinnorris817]

Pretty impressive

[@stevenflores5549]

Impressive

[@danielfriesen372]

I use those rounds in my bear defence hiking carry mossburg 500. Mine are the 437 gr. 3" mag ar 1600 fps. I trust them for any thing that walks in north America.

[@greggullett1272]

Happy new year Buffalo

[@user-rn5ks8sf5x]

Happy New Year Buffalo!

[@bitterdeputy900]

Merry Christmas and happy new year buffalo!!!

[@ed5042]

I really do appreciate your videos, answers questions I have!

[@ltnitmare]

Man I really enjoyed this simple video. Well done.

[@marktapp5408]

Great demonstration and excellent presentation. Very informative. Anyone have experience shooting this slug in a smooth bore? Thanks for the hard work Buff.

[@2stroke438]

Happy new year!

[@bestestusername]

perfect for deer here in australian thick scrub, we get the federal premium stuff hopefully this turns up. Adler B220 is my shotgun

[@aaronwilcox6417]

Good channel, far better than the larger ones.

[@timjohnson8390]

That sir would definitely stop whatever hit with that

[@ronalddavis]

bet it would flatten a grizzly bear

[@timjohnson8390]

@@ronalddavis NO doubt. The way this slug looks opened up reminds me of Super Vel's solid copper hollow points only they aren't 50 cals

[@joeyhardin1288]

Happy New Year. Thank you. God Bless and stay safe.

[@williambell9466]

Hey buddy. Great video as usual. Saw this last night on Patreon. You do the best breakdowns I've seen. Love watching your videos.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thanks so much. I actually have some Patreon only videos coming so keep an eye out for those.

[@williambell9466]

I'm looking forward to it. I got the email last night about this video and was like Oooooo yes! Lol. Happy New Year Buffalo!

[@russellweber3466]

That Maverick 88 rifled shotgun barrel is quite handy. I bought off gunbroker in 2018 a Mossberg 500 Viking 12 gauge with a ported 24" rifled barrel and a scope and a hard locking case, at a real bargain. The shop listed it as Viking not Mossberg and I was the only bidder on the gun, which was basically new. I've been meaning to get a Maverick 88 12 gauge and probably will this year and I'll bet the 500 slug barrel will fit on it and vice versa.

[@audiehollon4292]

Happy New Year Buffalo

[@kentowens2179]

Happy New Year! You have one of the best channels on here! Always enjoy your videos!

[@SolomonsOutdoorReviews]

For a second I thought you were shooting that round out of a smooth bore barrel… I was like he good. Good shooting Good video

[@gregwilson4658]

Happy new year, Buffalo. Another great video. Yes yes

[@eliast2351]

Happy New Year 2024.

[@Madmartigan4477]

Happy New Year, Buffalo!

[@gilmerphillips4565]

Always enjoy your presentations

[@jbflyinglow]

No buffalo thank you missing some of your older videos man about 10 years back watermelon through the wall test funny and great just like this video

[@STEADFAST__and__LOYAL__M1059]

That’s a HAIRY BUFFALO 🦬 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@jasoncarpenter4116]

That's quite an impressive little round there. A little on the expensive side, but that should be right in alignment with some muzzleloader components and probably more effective.

[@luketilley9137]

Ballistic test water, that's awesome. That is great expansion. Very impressive 👍

[@Mr.Chello]

wow, you put a scope on that slug gun and you have a big game (Bear, Elk, Moose, etc) hunter out to 200 yards or more!!! Shotguns with these new slugs are the new big bore long range hunting outfits!!! With these numbers ...that slug gun is good for large dangerous game in Africa!!!

[@thetraveler5798]

Happy New Year Buffalo's outdoors and Blessings to the Family and y'all out there 🙏❗ 😎🤙

[@cw2a]

Good stuff Buffalo!! ❤❤

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thank you!

[@bobcatforever3485]

Buffalo. Good way to start off the new year with an interesting shotgun slug. Thanks for sharing. Take care and Happy New Year to you also. Take care.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thank you!

[@ejsocci2630]

Happy and healthy new year, thank you for your videos and the way you do your videos.👊🏻🇺🇸

[@Ricksimon13]

Super cool video! Happy New Year!

[@robertmoore7199]

Love the High Speed footage! The ammo gun combo is a serious way to get your 50cal point across. The slug gun - Maverick88 is like a Model T. FORD. Every home can afford one. If you need more than 5 shells, my condolences.

[@Beardman56]

My maverick 88 holds 8 shells. It's a beast

[@davidfielder1418]

Great video. Off to a good start in 2024. Best Regards.

[@kathleenfoster9887]

Bruce here, your presentation and common sense way of testing is wonderful. I drilled and tapped the top of my 500 to mount a rail for a scope.It was done in a milling machine to mount on center of the receiver.At 75 iron sights don’t play fair with my shooting at distance.

[@MeMadeIt]

Impressive results. That slug expanded perfectly. 👍

[@charlesmorgan1879]

STR8 out the tap ! The best stuff...now i need to get a slug barrel for the 870 !

[@northeastkentuckyoutdoors6455]

Those will do the job for sure, real information on this channel. Keep up the good work hillbilly!

[@JamesAndersen-w2y]

Happy New Year 🎉, looking forward to seeing more videos

[@nhwnhw02]

Just a FYI, pretty much the same results you could expect from a 45-70. Federal make a 300 grain 45-70 loading with muzzle velocity stated as 1850 fps. These bullets are a little bit bigger in diameter at 50 caliber with the same weight. I suspect the recoil is fierce.

[@travisweldmaster7815]

Starting a new year with the ol buffalo!

[@cryswimmer]

Hope you have a wonderful new year.

[@GBGuns]

Thank you for keeping on!

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Glad to be here man! I always appreciate you stopping by!

[@nomadicobserver4224]

Buffalo, I have looked everywhere for that ballistic tap water. No one around here sells it.😅

[@franks6857]

Ballistic Tap Water!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@uncledon2128]

FBI grade from Flint Michigan. 10% lead.

[@garytrainer1690]

Good stuff as always Buff. 👍👍

[@polhokustaa4989]

very cool test!

[@pamartin]

Excellent editing! Really like the big picture with the chronograph and target windows on screen! Never would have thought to use ballistic tap water!!! All this time I'm using regular tap water. Stupid me...

[@LiveFree-pk8ej]

Nice group, 1800+ FPS from a 12 gage. In a word RESPECT

[@gradyfuller4880]

Just get a saddle mount, because that gun is shooting great. You could also get a spring kit to help the trigger too.

[@bisleyblackhawk1288]

That’s venison in the freezer right there…praying for You and Yours to have a safe, Blessed and Happy New Year…same prayer and wishes for all your followers 😊😊😊🙏🙏🙏
