Special thank you to Buffalo from Buffalo's Outdoors for the use of his firearm to make this video.

I set out today at making an amateur video of shot-making, Enjoy dudes.

In this video, the Idahoan attempts to fire bird shot from a rifled muzzleloader. Will the rifling causes the shot to disperse too quickly?

Discussing some of the differences in the .410 bore and 28 gauge shotguns and shooting some patterns with #6 birdshot hunting loads.

Birdshot may be among the cheapest shotgun ammunition, but it still adds up-- particularly if you use less popular gauges like 16G, 28G or 410.  Setting aside the obvious financial benefits, reloading your own shells also gives you the ability to produce a shell that's right for you; whether that's a low-recoil round to spare yourself an aching shoulder, or high-velocity ammunition for long distance shots.

20 Ga birdshot for home defense?
