I'm used to the traditional M/F chokes in a side by side; however, I'm flirting with IC/M after seeing this video and considering my flushes of pheasants are well within 20 yards, mostly.

Ported chokes are designed to stabilize the barrel only to get you back on target quicker.

Thankyou George. I always pattern test what choke/load combo i use. Its good to get a visual, ots also great fun and it akways surprises me just how much time it takes up when testing.

Question I haven’t had luck with #2 for big ducks but I’m very consistent with #5 could it be that I’m not leading and the smaller shot is making up for error?

Test them at in the cold got 3 that dont work below 30

So much more scientific than just wearing the sock and saying, "i like this one the most" lol

I'm ready for some #6/9 TSS.

Great test besides not using the muller UFO choke for both loads. This isn’t the first time you’ve given boss a leg up. Either way boss is 10 to 15 dollars more per box with 5 less shells per box. The war-chief load is probably a bit more deadly due to bismuth being 1/8 heavier. Steel grain per cc 7.85 Bismuth per cc 9.75 Then the 1.5oz load boss is pushing is always going to have more kinetic energy behind 1.25oz load of steel. The margin is gonna be slight not 30%…….

I only watch your show to see if you are consistently pushing boss shotgun shells. Why would you compare those different loads against each other? That's like, yeah, putting a racehorse against a farm horse. You wanna make it equal before you compare things, wouldn't you? Keep doing a great job, buddy. Have a merry merry christmas

I bought the kiln 3/4 zip and the furnace bottoms last spring when they were on sale. I have used them this hunting season and I am very pleased with them. Much colder weather on the way so they will get a real workout in the coming month. If you pick First Lite as your base layers George, I’m confident that I have made the right choice. Thanks for sharing.

Do you never shoot ducks any closer than 40 yards with these super tight chokes? A choke is supposed to give you the widest EFFECTIVE pattern at a given distance. Unless you are always shooting ducks at 40 yards, why do you want to shoot a baseball size pattern at 15-25 yards with your super extra full UFO chokes?

Remington started the duplex load back in the late 80's.

I wonder how pheasant loads compare?

Such a great channel, I think you found your niche here on TH-cam. Do you count all of those holes on paper? Or do you use that the app that counts them?

OK OK , You Caught Me 😛 I Was Not Subscribed, but now I Am 😋 I Have a 30 30 Winchester model 94 That I bought about 50 years ago from a Friend, and like You, with the stock sights I can not hit the broad side of a barn with it 😞 I Dont shoot it much because its not very accurate, I like your set up, and hitting clay targets and good groups on paper, forces me to do the same on my 30 30, I dont do much hunting now days, but I want to be able to hit what I am Aiming at 🤣 Great Video, Take care, Chellie

How can one compare pattern density when using chokes with different constrictions and internal geometries? Müller UFO has same constriction as their U4 which is equivalent to an extra full/turkey choke. I understand the Carlson’s Sporting Clays Full has longer parallel section further restricting the shot column, just wondering why not use the same choke for both loads?

you are doing a outstanding job! thank you for your hard work and dedication

George, we need to see you test shotz ammo pulverizer steel 8 loads. Cole Townsend has been crushing ducks and geese with them and I need to see how that’s even possible lol

Could you test out the Migra double stack BB/2?

I'm gonna vote again for a bit slower camera work on the pattern and gel. That's the money shot. Also would like to see the data between the small pellets and big pellets separated. Averaging them seems irrelevant. It's been awhile since I've played with shells...~2015...Shot fasteel for awhile and it was my standard for a bit. But when I switched to rem nitro steel 1-1/8 oz I really started crushing birds. 1 #1s, 2s, and 3s. (I burgered several mallards and small geese all the way out to 50 yards with the 1s) I stopped shooting 4s because I don't like chewing on pellets. Kept the 3s for close in small ducks. The 2s were great if it was only ducks. But I really loved those 1s. Even honkers at 55 yards were toast. Probably killed 50+ birds with 1s in 2015. Especially when I was shooting well and used my IM choke. I used my LM when I was shooting poorly and my IM when I was dialed 😂

another great show! Thanks

Be interested to see the new nitro duplex loads against other stacked steel. I ordered a case of 2x6 so tbd on the personal results.

would have liked to see a kicks highflyer xfull in the mix

The still target does not tell the whole story, on a duplex the bigger shot has more energy and goes ahead of the smaller shot. To be effective the pattern needs to arive at the same time

Remington duplex was one of the first mix shot

Good Test George, Happy Thanksgiving 🦆🦆🦆🦆🦃🦃🦃🦃

Thanks for the video. Hope you had a good hunting season and Thanksgiving!

Bismuth is great, but this test proves steel is still pretty darn good if you choose the right load. Hard to justify the additional cost in bismuth with such similar performance.

Tell you what man , I used the Kent fasteel+ for the first half of this season and was not impressed. Got a lot of crippled birds always had to finish with a water swat or two. I hunt in northwest coastal Oregon so more often than not I am hunting in the rain. One day my shells got a bit wet but not like they where swimming in water, the next shot I took hissed and popped but cycled the action I I took my second shot at the duck and the wad from the first shot had stayed in the barrel so it over pressured and caused the barrel to get a bubble. I then looked into shells that handle moisture better and found a guy who had the exact same issue with Kent. In my opinion they are dangerous in wet weather hunting and will never buy them again.

I’m not a fan of the stacked shot. Did you get the average penetration of each size shot? The smaller shot doesn’t have adequate penetration at longer ranges where the bigger shot still kills. You could break a wing or get a head or neck kill but body hits will probably cripple. I believe that a single shot size that all the pellets will kill with a body hit is more effective. 4 bismuth body hits with 4 shot at its max range for that bird will have 4 hits that reach deep enough to kill. Where only 2 3shot will kill the bird and 2 5s will pull feathers. Both of these loads would probably kill a big Canada at 40 yrds if it centered in the pattern. With that tight of pattern there wouldn’t be a straight bone left. But if a bird is on the edge would the smaller pellets get it done?( I feel I fringe as many as I center. )Clean edges are the most important so birds are killed or missed when judging a shotgun shell/choke. I would like to hear your thoughts or others about this. Happy Thanksgiving

HALLOW is the best Alpac wool socks ever ever worn.

Have you patterned the Muller UFO choke with large steel shot like Kent Fast steel 3 inch BBs out to say 50 to 60 yards ? That seems to be the common load up here in Canada for Canada geese. Also up here most of us shoot steel 3s at ducks. We find for some reason 3s pattern and kill better than 2s or 4s. Thanks for all your hard work buddy your channel is great.

Should take a look at the Wicked Blend 2/4 I am loving this load for big ducks in 20G

I would like to see this tested with the proper choke for the load, such as a muller decoy choke. Constricting too tight could possibly negatively affect the pattern. It would also be great to see the visual of them being shot on water as Jimmy Muller has described, again, with the proper choke.

gave up hunting when steel shot came in wounding to many my friend in ca still useis lead shot for all hunting his wife is naitve amica he hunt on the res no hunting regs but tribe set some fwl cant go there u haft shere game and fish with elders

always great information I shoot Boss #2 Stingers. I also shoot steel BB shot.

always great information. Thanks for all your hard work and time.

Wheres the subsonic?

Should do some Military Surplus soaks for the arctic war fair.

You always have some great information! Thanks for all your hard work and time my friend.

Thanks for a outstanding show I shoot boss stingers 2's

What size bottoms did you get, and how do they fit? I’m in between a small and medium, so I’m just curious on the sizing fit

What a great analogy. Thanks for sharing.

I care less about .22LR expansion, precision and accuracy is the thing I want. Many people complain about the CCI Quit precision, the say it is not good. I think they rather have a problem with follow through or their rifles just don't shoot it good, like it is with many rifle ammo combinations.

Have you ever tested Jebs chokes?

Fox River socks 👍🇺🇸👍 Darn Tough are good to, I'm about 12 miles from there shop in Northfield vt. Wigwam is not bad and on and on !! Like allways that Vermonter!!

Lol. Wtf?

Great video man keep it up love the information.

I just bought a few boxes. Ill let you know. I thought it would be good for Teal.

i've been dealing with best sock and best boot issue for many years. finally found a comfortable solution. a waterproof boot with everyday socks and stick on toe warmers.
