I am sort of a wornout birdhunter in my 70's, but my grand dad was a duck hunting demon. A lot of the pattern testers seem to have a high pattern with anything. Grand dad told me early that shotguns bead are supposed to sight below the bird so you can see all of the bird! It sure helped me with doves.
In my opinion. The drylock, and speed shock was the best. Most evenly dispersed at that range. With a full choke at 25-30 yards. Even patterns is what you want at typical hunting ranges. Black cloud was a close 3rd place.
I can say this , 1st great job the way you prepped before your video on the different loads etc and shooting off handed which is imortant. With a vent rib most guns are made to shoot a little high , but besides all that most of those loads could easily work at 40 yards, really nice patterns over all. The 90 a case Federal does take the show overall for price , performance and probably availability. Thankyou the 1st video I watched of yours.
I love the speed shok they are hammers. Next time you get out and pattern step it out to about 35 or 40 yards and you will really see the difference. Rios and speed shok will blow all the others away.
Nice video.. I am a die hard duck & goose hunter who has tested alot of different chokes & ammo for my waterfowl hunting setups.. I'm a lefty too.. My duck gun is a Browning Gold 12 ga shooting Federal Black Cloud in #3's out of a .675 Terror choke tube & it's absolutely lights out for ducks.. My goose gun is a Remington SP 10 ga shooting Federal Black Cloud in BB out of the .720 Terror choke tube & it's an anti aircraft goose bomber.. Both of my waterfowl hunting setups are deadly short or long range within reason & until something changes I'll be sticking with what works for me & my guns..
So, my all time favorite is the winchester elite blindside. Reason being is it does in fact hold a great pattern BUT, at the 50-60yd range it's the only one that I definitely noticed made any difference. To me it's about focusing shot placement. And often times that shot at 40yd+ makes the difference. You should do a penatration video with all these different ammo! I'd love to see that! Great job!
Late in the season when the ducks are not wanting to come in close to the decoys, I will switch to the Blindside for those longer shots. Their ability to kill and not just wound the bird is better then others when shooting farther distances.
The Rio surprised me. I've been a Black Cloud guy for years now but I'm gonna buy a box of those Rio shells and pattern them. I shoot modified on tight holes over decoys but mostly full choke over rice fields out of Browning Maxus and a Maxus II 28" 12ga, will be interested to see how they do.
I’ve had the best luck with blue box, the Winchesters (pretty much all of them) as well. I get bigger ducks and Canada geese here in the North and like to go 3.5 number 2s about all the time and Kicks Full through my SBE2 I’ve had for years now.
Each gun patterns differently and you were using factory chockes at a close yardage! I'd love to see this test done again at an extended range of 50 yards. Blind sides are absolutely terrible beyond 40 yards! Anything close I will give it credit but for an all around I'll stick to hyper sonics with Carlson Creemator Long Range choke. I'm a believer in shot size, choke, and range equals more game in fridge. Beretta Extrema 2 with Carlson FS steel LR combined with Rem Hypersonics 1 1/4 ounce 1shot! deadly on ducks and geese
Good video but please allow me to point 4 things out, 1- the shots will vary with different temperatures, so don't count only on this test which is in hot weather 2- sometimes you need to try different chokes, some shots may do better 3- It is not only the pattern which counts, the punch is important 4- not all shots have the same speed, speed counts.. Here you are shooting a sitting duck I agree with your review based on the gun, choke, distance to target and temperature... But if one factor changes, the whole review should 😉
Most extensive shell shot pattern test vid yet. Keep up the good work. I too changed to Rio last year a.) For price b). They patterned best for price. I shoot #2's 3.5 in duck and BB's 3.5in goose. Good shells.
Very important to note this is your gun and your specific choke. Different guns and chokes will provide different results. I personally look for the best overall pattern and shim or tweak the gun to center that pattern up. There were some loads in the bottom that had better patterns but your gun just shot them high.
After watching your video I went and bought the jobs joke just like yours. Took it out and pattern yet. And I use the reo 2-4 3”.Edit pattern awesome just like yours. I love the jebs choke. Oh I might mention I have the same shotgun A5. exactly like yours love it.
Thank you for this comment.....A lot of people don't pattern their shotguns. Once you find what shells shoot best out of your gun with the choke you're using, you will kill more birds. I am glad my video helped you out.
Just bought a case of Rio online and it was $274 delivered and I was glad to get it. I can’t imagine what some of the other stuff would be by the case these days. I’m glad the Rio pattered so well. I had been shooting blindside but I can’t even find it now.
I was surprised at the RIO. I just bought some because of the ammunition shortage and hadn’t patterned them yet. Shooting an A5 wwing just purchased and added a Jeb’s .690 choke. Rio’s are #4 3.5. Hope they shoot as well.
Been shooting the rio blue 2's, 3's and 4's for last 2 seasons and they kill everything to about forty five yards using Carlson's flush mount. I live were we can hunt pheasant and still pass shoot duck and geese. Don't want to play the choke game all the time and found that IM does everything (lead also) to 45 yards with patterns good enough for mallards and pheasant. Winchester and Federal are good also. Can only buy what they have nowadays and I stick with those three. How did your tests go? Interesting stuff!
Awesome video showing the difference between shells, really appreciate you taking the time to do this. I shoot the Winchester DryLok out of my Benelli Vinci I get a pretty good tight group pattern. Never went thru all those different brands before. I guess I know what I'm doing next weekend!
Great video, thank you! I’ll be grabbing a couple boxes of the Winchester Drylok for some patterning. Over & over I’m seeing Browning pattern like crap at a heavy price. I will have to try it in my shotgun before making the final call, but so far I’m not swayed that way.
When I did my pattern testing. I tested Kent 4, 3, and 2 shot. 4 shot was the only thing that was good. So would be interested to see the difference with different shot size with the same brands
Years ago I had a browning BPS 10 gauge. It patterned high. Cost me turkeys geese and so on. Contacted Browning they said they design there guns to shoot high like that makes a better sight picture?!? That might be ok for pheasants flying straight away but I want my gun to shoot where I point it. That idea is bs when trying to figure out leads on passing birds. Now later on I bought a browning 20 gauge semi automatic it shot strait but kept breaking firing pins so I got rid of it. All Benelli now.
Great video! New waterfowler here, I’ve been told by many to not shoot steel out of a full choke. However, I see some full chokes in the stores listed as you can shoot steel and hevi-shot through them. Can you explain this if you know? Thank you
You can shoot steel out of a full choke. I like shooting a full choke because it holds a tighter pattern and does not wound as many birds. But, you have to practice shooting with a full choke. Once you find what shell shoots the best out of your set up, you will kill more birds using a full choke.
There are some chokes that you can not shoot steel out of. They should be labelled. Don't listen to blanket statements like " you can shoot steel out of a full choke". You can shoot steel out of SOME full chokes.
Hunting over decoys, the full choke will destroy the ducks. Most shells will work over decoys. The 40 yard mark is the best for all around hunting. A good range for pheasant hunting as a role. Some good hunting in non toxic areas
Seeing how different shells pattern out of your shotgun is important, but the kinetic energy caused by the impact of the pellets hitting the bird is what really drops ducks. Thats what you're paying for with more expensive shells. Higher quality metal creates more kinetic energy that really knock down a bird. With that being said, I shoot winchesters because they're cheap and are easy to find.
Tom Roster has studied steel and alternate shot since the compulsory change from lead. The tables produced on lethality express very clearly the most common field ranges ducks and geese of all sizes are shot at. The distances vary from 20 to 70 yards, the most common averaging 30 to 45. Shouldn’t pattern testing thus be conducted at both ranges to capture what the passing shot may illustrate or the follow-up shot on flaring birds?
Curious as to what the FPS is on the ones that did well compared to the ones that shot high. The ones that shot high I think would do well at longer distances
Now in 2022 the only shells under $300 a case at least around Mississippi if you can find them is the browning shells or monarch shells, just the heavy metal is $45 a box
Good video but all that was said and done will mostly change on a moving target because the shot collum has to come into consideration per Bob Brister as I recall. Thanks
We (3 guys) took out a bunch of various shells about 4 years ago. But we shot these all through our Benelli shotguns (SBE2, M2, Vinci) with crio mod 3 notch chokes. The top shell hands down (40 yards) was Hevi Metal and federal blue box/speed shock was second. So it’s important to see what your gun likes. Now another thing to consider is how hard the shot hits. Hevi Metal just plain hits waterfowl hard and kills more cleanly imo. Now the bad news about Hevi Metal is the recipe (no longer use tungsten-too expensive) has changed and the new extended range doesn’t preform me. So once I blow through my remaining shells I’ll be looking. I bought a couple 4 packs ($40) of bb and 2’s federal blue box at Walmart for back up. Rio’s I’m a bit leery of I was on a guided snow goose hunt the 3 guys hunting with me were telling me how great they were and how I shouldn’t buy those expensive shells. Throughout the hunt there guns kept jamming and they looked like they burn pretty dirty.
It took me a bit to learn this and tons of shells, try aiming a little lower on the duck A5’s tend to shoot high, have had three they all seem to do it, gun works great for sight picture.... unless you run lead (upland) it’s spot on
Could the velocity and shot weight difference account for the height of the pattern? I'd ignore where it hits and focus on how it patterns, sight in gun for one that patterns best.
Even with a full choke, I still like to get the birds in as close as possible. And when they will not come in close, the full choke helps with the longer shots. I can not stand to wound a bird. I like the tight pattern the full choke gives you for a good kill. You have to find the right set up for your gun and practice. If you learn to shoot a full choke, you will kill more birds.
I feel like you could do this test 5 times and get a different top 5 every time I wouldn’t go off of just one shot each I do at least 5 different targets on each shell and you will get a much more refined answer
Please stop touching the muzzle when the gun is loaded. It’d be better that you blow your choke out than blow your hand out. Other than that, really liked this video, quick comparison of a lot of the most popular ammo.
Bel video ! Complimenti dall' Italia ! Se posso permettermi un consiglio , oltre a spiegare a parole quello che fai , dovresti anche scriverlo in grande in modo leggibile , soprattutto per quanto riguarda la strozzatatura del fucile , la distanza è il prezzo delle cartucce . Grazie .
Shooting over decoys at that range is basically wanten waste with all of those shells. Nothing left to eat, not even the dogs can make out. I think at that range I would have to go with IC?
@@Shotguner the long range is either the .690 or the .685. It depends on the shot size you use. The .685 can only be shot with #2 and smaller. I recently got a .690 and it patterns very well at 40 yards
It is crap...It does not pattern well at all.....When I hunted with them this year, I shot about 15 rounds and then put the box in my blind bag. They did not get hung, but it feels like the A5 just does not like those rounds. And I didn't kill any ducks with them either!!
I did do that....it does make a big difference...before I switched, I kept knocking the safety back on when trying to shoot. Caused me to miss a lot of ducks. LOL Thanks for watching....please subscribe
I shot Rio and Speed Shok today and I really liked the way they both shot. I clean my gun after every two to three hunts anyway so the shells being dirty doesn’t bother me yet.
I hate Hevi Shot / metal all hype and marketing ! I shoot anything Winchester , federal , and Remington now Remington is owned by Federal . I guess I’ll be shooting Federal . I shoot a Affinity and Rios shells don’t do good out of them or I’d shoot them ! Try Fiocchi shells Arkansas Timber they are good .
I have not shot Fiocchi but may pick up a box if I run out...I have already bought the shells I plan on using. Federal Speed Shok and Rios....I bought a few boxes of Winchester Dry Lok too. I plan on seeing which ones I kill more birds with. Season is almost here!!

Judging based on one shot, then confusing point of impact with patterning, compromises your results.

I've been told many barrels shoot 70% above the bead , 30% below. By design,. I think his gun is likely that way.
Very possible. He may be looking at too much rail, though. Improper sight picture is usually the biggest cause of shooting high or low

Could the velocity and shot weight difference account for the height of the pattern? I'd ignore where it hits and focus on how it patterns, sight in gun for one that patterns best.
Would be nice to be able to get any ammo right now
I was going to start reloading but can't get supplies for that, either. The bastards
It's will be see much better on a 40 yd. Very great video. Can you do same thing just on a 40 yd
Just curious, why pattern a full choke at 25/30 yards? At that range, a more open choke would be better suited.
Even with a full choke, I still like to get the birds in as close as possible. And when they will not come in close, the full choke helps with the longer shots. I can not stand to wound a bird. I like the tight pattern the full choke gives you for a good kill. You have to find the right set up for your gun and practice. If you learn to shoot a full choke, you will kill more birds.
He's going for the "complete kill or complete miss" shooting theory. Chasing cripples suuuucks

Shooting over decoys at that range is basically wanten waste with all of those shells. Nothing left to eat, not even the dogs can make out. I think at that range I would have to go with IC?
Any chance of doing the same test at 40 yards?? See how much they open up/pattern...
Good idea....I will see if I can get that done before hunting season starts.
Looks like you pulled half of your shots high and left or high; would like to see from a bench rest great vid though

The only 2 3/4 shells I shoot are RIO's when I dove hunt. I have never had a problem
What choke are you using? I just bought a a5 and don’t know what the best choke would be.
Jebs High Voltage Long Range (Full Choke)
@@Shotguner the long range is either the .690 or the .685. It depends on the shot size you use. The .685 can only be shot with #2 and smaller. I recently got a .690 and it patterns very well at 40 yards

Jebs High Voltage Long Range.
What full choke were ya using? Thanks
Jebs High Voltage
Since they change the kent from the old it’s crap. Doesn’t pattern and it doesn’t feed through my A5 .
It is crap...It does not pattern well at all.....When I hunted with them this year, I shot about 15 rounds and then put the box in my blind bag. They did not get hung, but it feels like the A5 just does not like those rounds. And I didn't kill any ducks with them either!!
Dryloks
Dryloks did pattern well......
Ain’t the cartridges it’s you probably gun not fitted ??
What choke did you use for these tests ?
Jebs Long Range (Full)
Switch your safety to lefty handed it’s easy and I did it and it was a night and day difference
I did do that....it does make a big difference...before I switched, I kept knocking the safety back on when trying to shoot. Caused me to miss a lot of ducks. LOL Thanks for watching....please subscribe
What choke tubes were you using?
Jebs extreme long range
Rios shoot great but they are dirty dirty powder.. Speed shock!!
I shot Rio and Speed Shok today and I really liked the way they both shot. I clean my gun after every two to three hunts anyway so the shells being dirty doesn’t bother me yet.

a case has 10 boxes of shells totaling a total of 250 shells

What choke are you shooing
Jebs high voltage extreme long range
I hate Hevi Shot / metal all hype and marketing ! I shoot anything Winchester , federal , and Remington now Remington is owned by Federal . I guess I’ll be shooting Federal . I shoot a Affinity and Rios shells don’t do good out of them or I’d shoot them ! Try Fiocchi shells Arkansas Timber they are good .
I have not shot Fiocchi but may pick up a box if I run out...I have already bought the shells I plan on using. Federal Speed Shok and Rios....I bought a few boxes of Winchester Dry Lok too. I plan on seeing which ones I kill more birds with. Season is almost here!!
@@deltafowlers4648 Them Federal Speed Shok are good stuff !! As will is the red box .
