Jay test out some new ammo for turkey hunting! Check out the episode to see some of the best choke and shell combinations on the market! He test 20 gauge and .410 up to 70 yards!!!
The new Birchwood Casey targets are made in China. Everyone is having issues with the splatter. The original ones that worked were made here in the USA
FYI...do the opposite of what you instructed at 37:15ish put a visible sticker in the center of your pattern, then hold the sight (position the gun) to point of aim, lock it down and then adjust the sight to center of pattern. You should then be spot on.
Just a quick tip. Keep your self some political signs for patterning. They stake in the ground super easy and make a great pattern board to tack your splatter targets to. Been doing it for years and they work great and are durable. 2 or 3 of those and you have a patterning board for years.
It goes to show that a cheap shotgun with a great choke and great ammo will get the job done!!! I love my Indian creek chokes and TSS ammo Good luck this season
I have the 410 Steven’s , my father in law has it in 20 gauge. He shot a turkey which I thought at first he was telling a story at 66 yards. It was so.
My benelli m2 20ga loves the indian creek 562. It does group tight at 20 tho but past that its great out to 50 with apex, federal or salt creek number 9.
Don’t be afraid to try the Indian Creek .555 for your 20ga. I’m shooting the .555 out of an 870 compact 20 with a 21” barrel and using Rocky Ridge 2oz no.9’s and getting 450+ hits in a 10” circle at 40yds. Tried the .562 and was getting around 370 in the 10”. Using 1 5/8os loads I get around 340 hits in the 10” with the .555 so don’t be afraid to try it out! Best of luck this upcoming season!
Those Rocky Ridge 2oz #9s are legit! I'm using them in my Franchi Affinity 3 with the factory XXF choke (565) and they absolutely hammer at 40 yards, I don't count pellets but I can guarantee there ain't nothing making it through the wall of shot those loads produce.
@@46TENI’m heading to South Texas this weekend with my older brother and great friends to kickoff the season. Gonna let both my Tristar 410 and the old 870 twenty-pop bark! Hope that IC .555 performs as well for you as it does for me!
I shoot Indian Creek .562 and .555 with Fox Trot ammo in my 870 Youth 20 gauge. I also get great results as well. Those targets are not doing well as splatter targets anymore. Good job on your testing. The Bogg Tripod is the ticket for sighting in your gun.
Those new Birchwood-Caseys are not what they used to be. They probably hired the lady who came up with Bud Light’s Dylan Mulvaney campaign to redesign their targets to make them better.😂😂
😅 I thought that 20 was at 40 at first .. my jaw dropped. I wasn't paying attention. I have the same 410 and my shells get stuck all the time. I have to pull them with my knife about half the time. It is annoying.
A single #9 TSS pellet weighs 1.21 grains. At 1200 fps each pellet will deliver 3.86 ft lbs of energy. Those pellets are going to be A LOT SLOWER at 40 yards or more, and will deliver a lot less energy downrange. A #6 lead pellet and a #7.5 TSS have almost identical energy. I would go with the 7.5 TSS or #7 TSS. I honestly have not tried TSS yet. Just doing a little research because it is so expensive.
Honestly I wouldn’t shoot that .410 past 30 with a pattern like that. My 410s 40yd pattern looks like your 20yd pattern. Viper 9.5 1oz and code black .381
The 410 loads are called 383 Stroker like the Chevy engine. That’s why he wrote that on the shell 🤦♂️. Pretty sure that Indian Creek choke is .385 not .383. Sorry I’m a stickler for little details.
@@46TEN Killed my first in 80, over 100 since. never used a decoy, fan or bait. just me an old boss hen yelper, woodsmanship and patience. All this new crap is not turkey hunting.You Tube has also put unbelievable pressure on a resource already hurting in much of the south. Thankfully the game departments are waking up to this and will continue to place restrictions that will help turkey populations recover. Too bad greed with the kills for click crowd don't get it. Just my opinion.
A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE NEW SPLATTER TARGETS NOT SPLATTERING. IT IS A BAD RUN OR A NEW MANUFACTURING PROCESS SO THEY ARE ALWAYS GOING TO BE THAT WAY? NOT GOOD NEED TO CALL COMPANY!!
Nothing is better than TSS as far as pattern density and down range energy. TSS is 56% heavier than lead and 22% heavier than hevi-shot. For instance if you use no.9 tss it’s like shooting no.4 lead shot which in turn gives you more pellets leading to a denser pattern and with the pellet being smaller it cuts the air better and penetrates further for cleaner kills. It only takes 1.8ftlbs of energy to break the neck bone of a turkey. Hope this gives you a better understanding of TSS
Agree 100% Used to love #5/#6. TSS rocks. No question. No plans to change what works. Still interested in new loads. Total respect to Jay. Watched him in the early days of SeekOne. 46Ten is fantastic. You go Jay!
Using. 410 & shooting at extreme ranges is stupid & disrespectful to the birds. If you can't call them in close then what's the point. Just how many are you willing to wound & let run off to die. Shooting paper targets does not equal killing power in the field. Dumbest move of any hunter is to use to little of a gun & & not respecting the toughness of the quarry.
I guess you didn't watch the entire episode.? I made multiple comments for people not to shoot over 40 yards. Simply a test in case you miss judged yardage .
@@46TEN anyone advocating for the use of a 410 on turkeys is irresponsible. That caliber was never designed to use on anything other than small game & small birds. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Far to many fools out there that will follow bad advice just to be fashionable
@kevincampbell643 just for the record I killed a bird at 50yds with the .410 didn't even flop. So just because your not capable of doing it doesn't everyone else isnt.
@@jasongoddard3015 do you have a Stevens 301? I've been on the lookout for the ones for the 301 for a while now and they've been out of stock for forever.
this patterning craze shows that turkey hunters are most tag soup prone even over bowhunters. over last 30 years and hundreds of birds form me or friends and all regular ammo no tss and we never ever had issues with range -all kinds of issues getting all those birds on public land and probably most pressured in usa but never is the range an issue. sure tss is great but it has gotten way out of hand and for the money its so stupid to make it a big deal
Plenty people just look at the headlines and assume that's what you mean because that's what you wrote on the title and never get to the fine print. Very irresponsible on your part
We have enough hipsters running around crippling turkeys at 60 yards with 20 gauges shooting lead cause they can't afford tss on their Panera bread salary.
Just a heads up before you watch this, my man talks for eight minutes before firing a gun. My suggestion is to just jump to what the video is actually about.
Brother this is only testing !! Jay literally says in the beginning he would never shoot one at that range nor would he need too !! My words there ! It is just for fun ! He can come put em in my face and your face !! It’s just for the YT !! It’s not that serious bruh!😎 reading your comment and thinking the person you must be is what’s wrong with the whole hunting game !! Not this man shooting a gun for fun!!
My Indian Creek is a .383 as well. It was an accidental build but they sell a .385..I know it was confusing and i should've explained better . I know this stuff pretty well
If you have to shoot a deer at 60 you aint a bowhunter And if you have to shoot a turkey at 70 ypu aint a turkey hunter.. you are a RU-vidr not a hunter..
