Trulock Choke Tubes - BOAR BLASTER - 00 and 000 at 50 Yards

Patterning some 00 and 000 buckshot loads at 50 yards through the Trulock Choke Tubes Boar Blaster choke tube. This is an unusual design for a choke tube as I explain in the video.

The slo-mo was great !

[@taofledermaus]

Those 18 pellet loads were what? 2 oz. ???!!! You totally got me with the slo-mo segment. Very funny.

[@devioustroll526]

The charts say OO buck weighs 53.8 grains per pellet x 18 = 968 grains total. That's over 2.2 ounces of lead. Son-of-a-b**** that's gotta hurt.

[@ericlaney384]

Yes they are 2 1/4 oz loads so are the copper plated turkey loads and they kick exactly the same I bought a Remington 870 super mag in 2000 shot maybe 5 and traded it for a flat bottom John boat lol

[@ericlaney384]

It would be funny as hell but I don't think they make a 3 1/2 inch chamber single shot I couldn't image it ! I had a Remington 870 supermag in 3 1/2 and when we would shoot clays we casually slip one in the tube on someone when they wouldn't notice and damn was it worth it ! Priceless!

LOL That's funny!

[@patrickkinney4998]

I found in my shotgun the bigger the buck, the bigger the pattern. Ive finally stayed with 2 3/4 #1 buck with an x-full choke. Its the tightest patterns at 40 yards. 11 pellets i can cover with my hand and 3 flyers. I'll live with it.

you got me with that slow motion recoil. i was thinking to myself "man it didn't seem that bad at regular speed" and then it kept getting worse. laugh out loud funny.

Love the slo-mo I slipped off of my chair laughing. Thank you Buffalo for the first belly laugh of the day.

[@mrlundgren2346]

You are just the best. Thank you for the interesting video and for letting me watch a real shotgun fight.

[@jamesoliva9531]

Hey Buffalo, I really like your folksy videos. I have never used a shotgun with interchangeable chokes, all I have is a old Browning Auto 5 with a factory full choke. It has been over 50 years since I patterned that old gun but I can tell you when I did I had the muzzle at 50 yds. not my eyes at 50 so I guess I was actually over 51 yds when I did. I remember very well that my patterns were at least 4-12 inches tighter than what the interchangeable chokes provided mine were all 2 3/4 and 3". Those interchangeable were not too bad with the 2 3/4 but the 3" forget it my fixed was way better than that. I think you convinced me to never use those at least for deer hunting and stick with my fixed choke. It would probably be better just to purchase a second barrel for birds and rabbits and use the interchangeables for that as you could just over choke if necessary to get the pattern you are looking for. Keep those vids coming the more I watch the more I know I will stick with what I have they are tried and true.

[@avlisk]

I'm not even a gun guy, (just a 2A guy), and the slo-mo gave me a laugh.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Awesome!

[@christophercollins3851]

I learn something from every one of your videos, really good all around. The slow motion recoil was hilarious.

[@Tex_I_Can]

That was some kind of recoil. Lol! Interesting choke tube. I think testing it more is a great plan.

[@kengamble8595]

Wow, never realized just what I was missing now that I see the slow mo ! 😊 Sure is a lot happening in that millisecond ! 😊 Good review on the choke! Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍

[@buffalosoutdoors]

That's right! THe slow motion really opened my eyes.

[@kentowens2179]

We were using choke with steps in 'em back in the mid'90's for card shooting guns. They were awesome!

[@markkeplinger6218]

Loved the slow mo!!!

[@TheMagnumChannel]

I actually got a really nice 50 yard pattern out of the remington 8 pellet 000 buck with a plain ol improved cylinder choke, it even exceeded some of the boar blaster patterns. It also put a single pellet through a gallon jug at 80 yards as well. Nicely done video!!

[@buffalosoutdoors]

I haven't tried any 8 pellet yet. I think I have some here though. I'll have to give it a try.

[@j.m.8193]

Yes I still have a lot of work to do but I'm headed in the right direction in finding the best load for this tube. Once I get that figured out I will post a part 2.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thanks! It was a lot of work and in the end I didn't get the closure I was hoping for but that's the way it works out sometimes. Now I know what I need to do to finish the testing and see if this tube really is better than the standard factory tube.

I was expecting a regular slo mo and yet again was caught off guard by some of your good humour.. I appreciate what you do and now that I'm subscribed, I'll be binge watching your channel for awhile.. Man some 18 pellet 3.5" magnum is some serious firepower.. America!!

[@raleighthomas3079]

Great review Buffalo! The pattern with the 000 was amazing! I’m gonna have to get this choke now, just to see how tight the patterns are at 20, 30 and 40 yds., as well as 50! Hint for future videos, use a magic marker to draw a small circle around each pellet hit, they show up much better. Thanks again!

[@scrapguy6816]

My Kentucky brother. You're crazy. That slow motion sequence was very funny. Thanks. I needed a good laugh. Whooped ya good. LMAO!!! The music in the beginning and end was great also.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

LOL YES!

[@user-vh5kz3eb1h]

The 000 looked like the best pattern. And they definitely hit harder. Pattern string length also makes a big difference. A good slow motion of the pattern just before impact will show that. Often times animals react so fast when the first pellets hit that the other slower pellets won’t hit them.

[@rsornberger]

Okay, that replay was funny. LoL

[@eduffy4937]

You should NEVER use pellets that large for home defense. Overpenetration will absolutely be an issue. Cylinder choke or riot choke with #6 or #7.5 lead will take care of any 2legged issues within 25yards.

You, Paul Harrell, and Hickok45 are my favs. Great personality, my friend. I actually was patterning some 00, and #4 buck with my Stevens 320 28" barrel, pump, 12 gauge today! Hell, just the 3" magnum are pretty rough. Those 3 1/2 looked brutal! My best patterns came with full choke(.700) with the #4 buck, and (.690) with the 00. I love patterning shotguns!!! My shoulder hurts, but it's worth the fun. lol

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Wow you mentioned me with some heavy hitters there, I appreciate that! It is a lot of fun to get out and pattern and learn the nuances of a particular shotgun so I know where you're coming from! It's worth the pain! LOL

Hahahahaha awesome slow mo

[@kentwilliams4152]

Hey Buffalo - I know, here I am again... But, we at FLETC (Federal Law Enforcement Training Center) used to qualify the U.S. Coast Guard with their 12 gauge shotguns with 00 Buck Shot. They would shoot 5 shot strings and then we were to score the targets. At first it seemed extremely difficult, but when we divided a target into 4 sections with a felt tip and then counted the hits in each quadrant it became easy. FWIW

[@davidhobbins3636]

EPIC super slo-mo shotgun slap session! 🤣

[@buffalosoutdoors]

LOL! Glad you liked it!

[@buckfutter99]

A great help is to patching holes with those little color circle stickers. They make a ton of colors so you can shoot same target and know which rounds are patterning where. Edit: you can pen in the round used on the patches. I’m really particular with my firearms.

[@yetisuncle666]

great video. and the "gun fight" was friggin hilarious. i would only argue, or point of interest, would be the pretty well identified issue with using chokes for buckshot. chokes work best with fowl shot. and larger bird shot like bb and t, or tt. but its been said , and kinda proved that chokes dont function as they should when using buck shot. certainly nothing like they do with birdshot. im not in anyway attacking you, or your methods. i cant find any issue with all that, i was just wanting to mention the buckshot and choke debate. which i believe has a bit of relevance. keep these kinds of videos coming. it was educational, well produced, and the unexpected addition of humor was magical.

[@TheMagnumChannel]

Blast you! You stole my thunder again! I bought one of these last summer and did a bunch of testing off camera with hopes to review it this past summer but never got it done.
