Definitely a fun video. Its fun seeing the different compounds used. Those plastic resin balls will usually crack an shatter. I shot a super old urethane ball and it basically absorbed 2 different shots of 6.5 Creedmoor lol.
20 Gauge is pretty brutal at close range or with a slug at longish range.If you have a gun chambered in it, which you probably don't,you should try the 20 Ga 3 and 1/2" slugs.
No 3 and 1/2"!It came out a few years ago and is only loaded in slugs .New England Firearms produce a 3 and 1/2"single shot slug gun which can also fire 2 and 3/4"and 3" shells.
True or a 3" 16 Gauge !I believe that the 20 Gauge 3 and 1/2"shoots very straight and is , obviously, very powerful but the downside is it has a fierce recoil especially as it's fired out of light single shot guns!If I remember the sabot style slugs come out of the business end at proper rifle velocities like around 2100 FPS..
just know that is my experience that shotgun slugs shoot just like a rifle at 100 yards.....at 150 yards you BEGIN to see a difference.....most of any reputation slugs have as being not so accurate is shooter error(same with pistol/revolver shooting although with handgun I would say 75-100 yards)...... most inaccuracies with all firearms is shooter error......yup
That's what I thought after seeing the ball again in editing- I wish I had turned it to impact a different spot. Even then, still would have been a different effect considering the darn thing was unknowingly filled with wood.
Would like to see all the variables removed. Same bowling ball. Same ammo manufacturer. Same barrel length with same choke. Same type of slug (Brenneke style slugs are harder and penetrate deeper). Got to eliminate variables to get good results.
Uh, these are all the same ammo manufacturer and same type of slug, and barrel length on a shotgun doesn't really add any velocity to standard slugs like these. About the only thing you mentioned that I didn't already do and actually matters, is the balls all being the same- which I WISH I could afford to buy all matching new balls just to destroy...
@@BuckeyeBallistics yes, but that ball was really cheaply made...a .22 might have split it. :) would be cool to see the .20 ga shot again against a solid, better ball. i couldn't judge how much 'real' damage was done on the 'lesser' ball. make sense?
We'll get er up sometime this year, most likely fall. I still need to source larger molds and can't use the stuff when it's above 70 out or it melts. Hang in there!
I know exactly 4 things about bowling balls. 1) They come in different weights. 2) They are hard 3) They are round. 4) You can bowl with them or shoot them or blow them up with tannerite.
I know it appears that way but it's because the ball spun downward and threw everything downward as soon as it was hit. If you pay attention to the entire video and don't skip, I show where it impacted the ball which is right on the line where it split- practically right in the middle of the ball. You can also tell by looking at where that impact is afterward in relation to the perpendicular lines on the ball, it's right in the middle of those lines instead of towards the end of them. I see the illusion, but it all happened so fast and the ball spun down/forward with all the spawlling thrown in the same direction lightning fast. This is why it appears that I hit the bottom, but the post examination reveals otherwise...
Unfortunately you come across as a Kentucky ballistics rip off. I know you don't mean to or maybe you do. But it diminishes your videos. Sorry but true.
@tommy - Perhaps you should look at the rest of my channel before you so boldly and blindly make such a statement. I actually do gun reviews here for one, long range shooting, optic reviews, and I don't yell at the camera constantly or make corny intro's and outtro's. I've never seen KB or any channel for that matter do a video like this and the pistol version and upcomming rifle version. And have you even seen his stuff for the last 2 years? I can't even afford to do the videos he's doing...
Bit harsh - shooting various objects with different guns and ammo isn’t exactly trademarked by any one TH-camr! Plus he’s not presenting directly at the camera, no gimmicks or clowning around (I do like Kentucky Ballistics and demo ranch but I usually fast forward all the intros cos let’s face it they aren’t for everyone)
You're having fun doing this but it is a learning experience. Thought the 410 might do a little more damage. Couldnt talk Boom into rolling one across the range & trying to hit it in motion? 🎳💥
@@BuckeyeBallisticsI'm surprised Boom didn't pull a cannon out of a safe & launch bowling balls at the 110yd gong. Let Freedom Ring. Can't wait for rifle test. 👍🙏🎳💥
The pistol version: th-cam.com/video/bjoEyDyyBJc/w-d-xo.html
Shotgun is the ultimate weapon. Nice vid!
As long as you don't have to shoot very far lol
@@BuckeyeBallisticsOr carry your own ammo😂
@guapo - Lol
Now we know what a bowling ball is made of!! I'm 70 and still learning. Life is still worth it!!
Lol
That 12ga has some serious power! :)
It'll make you say ouch.
Definitely a fun video. Its fun seeing the different compounds used. Those plastic resin balls will usually crack an shatter. I shot a super old urethane ball and it basically absorbed 2 different shots of 6.5 Creedmoor lol.
I got the rifle video comming up next weekend brother.
@@BuckeyeBallistics Awesome! Cant wait to see it.
I'd send that orange ball back to the manufacturer and say: "what the hell! I went for the 7-10 split and the ball just broke apart!"
That green bowling ball almost look like a watermelon lol. It blew up pretty well too with a 12 gauge.
20 Gauge is pretty brutal at close range or with a slug at longish range.If you have a gun chambered in it, which you probably don't,you should try the 20 Ga 3 and 1/2" slugs.
Never heard of a 3 1/2" 20ga shell. You mean 3"?
No 3 and 1/2"!It came out a few years ago and is only loaded in slugs .New England Firearms produce a 3 and 1/2"single shot slug gun which can also fire 2 and 3/4"and 3" shells.
Why not just get a 12 gauge at that point and not be limited to one gun and ammo selection and poor availability of both...
True or a 3" 16 Gauge !I believe that the 20 Gauge 3 and 1/2"shoots very straight and is , obviously, very powerful but the downside is it has a fierce recoil especially as it's fired out of light single shot guns!If I remember the sabot style slugs come out of the business end at proper rifle velocities like around 2100 FPS..
Cool video ! slugs are devastating !
Yes, first shot with 12 ga hit left. Those center hits were demolishing lol.
Now I know why I suck at bowling. All the balls are different. 😅
Good point! (I suck at bowling as well lol)
Liked.the video, any Shotgun, is awesome to have. Ant wait to see the rifle ideo
Meteor impacts on your Big, Nice, set of Balls!😮😅❤
Lol
Awesome video Thanks !
Cool dude!!😎
Fun video to watch, but to compare what each caliber size will do to a bowling ball they should probably be all the same.
just know that is my experience that shotgun slugs shoot just like a rifle at 100 yards.....at 150 yards you BEGIN to see a difference.....most of any reputation slugs have as being not so accurate is shooter error(same with pistol/revolver shooting although with handgun I would say 75-100 yards)...... most inaccuracies with all firearms is shooter error......yup
Did you get worn out balls from bowling alleys?
Got them off a lady that got them off a bowling alley...
The 20ga got luck and probably hit that orange ball right on a molding seam.
That's what I thought after seeing the ball again in editing- I wish I had turned it to impact a different spot. Even then, still would have been a different effect considering the darn thing was unknowingly filled with wood.
00 buck or bird shot at point blank?
You want me to win a Darwin award?
Woooooooo 😊
2 pc core you hit the seam and it split

20 ga test was faulty, should re-do. :(
No actually look where I showed that it hit- right where it split... in the middle. It's an illusion because it spun down as it was struck.
@@BuckeyeBallistics yes, but that ball was really cheaply made...a .22 might have split it. :) would be cool to see the .20 ga shot again against a solid, better ball. i couldn't judge how much 'real' damage was done on the 'lesser' ball. make sense?
Yeah, but I'm all out of bowling balls unfortunately (last 4 were used in the upcomming rifle video).
lol...thanks for replying; i have a 20 ga & i was curious...now i have to find myself a bowling ball. :)
Thanks. Still looking forward to that 20 ga Foster Slug in gel.✌👍
We'll get er up sometime this year, most likely fall. I still need to source larger molds and can't use the stuff when it's above 70 out or it melts. Hang in there!
I really don't give the shotgun as much credit as I should. I own a 20g 870.
Slugs in anything 20ga and up are very powerful within 75 yards
Just fun on gun range. Thank you.
First ball I've ever seen split like that. Most excellent.
That was awesome i have really enjoyed these bowling ball videos. The wood ball was definitely weird but then again I know nothing about bowling balls

2) They are hard

Different weight balls
Maximum awesomeness
I won't overlook bowling balls at thrift stores now.
😁
You should do the same test using cut shells
I like it
Hahaha. ❤❤
First!
Great videos! thanks. Seems like some of the balls have wood inside and some concrete resin..?? maybe
Loving it bro very interesting..
Use the same type of bowling balls dude
Buy me all the same types then dude...
That wood ball is probably super old
You hit the bottom of the ball on the twenty gauge!

You should have known something was wrong when .40 S&W beat 9mm😑

No , I'm not getting that vibe. I think he's doing his own thing.

I thought it would do more too. And that's a great idea, but I only had just enough balls to do what I needed to do. I'll have to try that one day...
