    Just found your channel after watching you drink and answer questions with some AK Guy that I’ve been binge watching. First off I’m glad you were able to show him what good vodka is with the Crater. Secondly now I’ll be binge watching your channel as well. Remember if you want to get out of the rain for some shooting there’s a few good places over here in the gorge.

    Thank you for the video! Now I know more when shopping at the local store.

    Wow. No dislikes

    in regards to shell length… You used the words smaller and larger/bigger instead of shorter and longer, was this for a certain reason, that seems confusing. To me that would be 20 ga in a 12 ga chamber for example.

    Well done overall, thank you

    Good video. See mine as a comparison for clays cartridges!

    Thanks this is awesome I’m new to firearms but have a love for 12gauge guns I’m not sure where it come from but this is an awesome tutorial on 12 gauge ammunition

    Again, kudos to you guys for carrying on in the "normal" Oregon weather. 🙂 Hopefully you guys didn’t catch a cold doing that.

    So I’ll be mostly shooting paper targets at a range. Should I stick with smaller pellets for this? I know I can’t use slugs at the range but I’m not sure about buckshot.

    👍🏻



  13. Jack Daniel. on May 3, 2023 at 3:45 am

    Thanks for the video. I was just shopping for a home defense shotgun today. I know a lot about handguns but not shotguns. 👍



  14. Abraham Arze Gonzalez on May 3, 2023 at 3:47 am

    Ok thank you I was looking for a video that explains shotgun shells and the way you explained it made me understand it a little better



  15. Greg Betts on May 3, 2023 at 3:48 am

  16. ifell3 on May 3, 2023 at 3:48 am

  17. Marcus #1 on May 3, 2023 at 3:49 am

    This video was very informative…..I am big into handguns but wanted to know more about shotgun ammo….learned a lot here



  18. elucky3 fortune on May 3, 2023 at 3:49 am

    Nice quick and concise video for shotguns. Love slugs!!!



  19. Kratos_God_of_50_BMG on May 3, 2023 at 3:49 am

    This is an awesome video for newbies to the world of shotguns. The way things are right now, some foreign firearm manufacturers (that’s right Turkey, I’m looking at you) are releasing new, and funkier looking designs, and getting them imported to the US more and more. The most common of these *are* in fact shotguns, and a new wave of gun owners have chosen to come in swinging for the fences with a multitude of 12ga models. So being unsure about what shells do what, and essentially starting from scratch, videos like these will be invaluable to them! Keep em’ comin’ big guy 👍🏽



  20. mtower235 on May 3, 2023 at 3:53 am

    Good for the new folks!



  21. First-Name Last-Name on May 3, 2023 at 3:59 am

    I’d be worried about ricochets off the rocky berm



  22. Jmach 3543 on May 3, 2023 at 3:59 am

    You should’ve shot the oath tango !! Very imformative to new gun owners.



  23. Mr. Williams on May 3, 2023 at 4:01 am

    Like the Use of the KFC containers 😅👍🏽



  29. John Bailey on May 3, 2023 at 4:08 am

    Like the rain, like the pumpkins and hadn’t seen a mag fed pump action. Always more to learn. Great video!



  30. Stefan on May 3, 2023 at 4:09 am

    The ounce means pellets weight or the powder weight?



  31. YO_HO_2EASY on May 3, 2023 at 4:14 am

    Very helpful video, I only own pistols & revolvers at the moment. Gonna rewatch this whenever I pick up my first shotgun 👍



  32. Jose Gaspar Berns on May 3, 2023 at 4:19 am

    R.I.P. TREMENDO
    GRACIAS 👍



  33. Eastwood #400 on May 3, 2023 at 4:20 am

    Very good video! Thanks. I think pumpkins were a good choice for displaying shot vs watermelons that most people like to use they typically explode regardless of what you throw at them



  34. King Leonidas on May 3, 2023 at 4:21 am

    Thanks for keeping it short and sweet! Many people like to get complicated with their explanations (too much fluff)
