The shots on the roofing was VERY telling! Great idea. and that dog on the pig.... I have no comment. lol
Thank you. I needed to know if these were actually hitting harder down range. Even when launched at a significantly lower velocity they seem to hit much harder than lead. The dog and pig belong to my daughter. They formed some kind of a bond and can't be separated. It's like some kind of a cartoon come to life.
@@buffalosoutdoors The dog/pig thing needs its own video. lol People will go nuts seeing that.
@@taofledermaus That's a good idea. I swear I am not making this up they love one another.
@@buffalosoutdoors That's some viral gold there. Ok, off to see if Danny can hit a clay now.
@@buffalosoutdoors A video on the dog and pig would be great, I saw that and I was like lol!!
Well that blew my mind!!
Never is a thousand years would I have considered a .410 for turkey.
This one has knocked it out of the park for lots of us. Excellent video Buffalo. One of your best!!!
This Tungsten Super Shot is a game changer! Thanks a bunch wildbill!
That was very impressive! Not every day you see dog riding a pig. The 410 was amazing as well lol.
LOL! Those two are best buds. Thanks for tuning in my friend ;)
There seems to be a lot of interest in expanding the use of the .410. Not a bad thing. Turkey hunting was always something I reserved for 12 gauge guns...just, well, because. My .410s have been reserved for skeet and hunting small, more or less stationary targets, like squirrels.
I am glad to see the .410 capability being expanded, hopefully it works well for those that try it. The testing was very impressive.
PS..I have a bunch of the Carlson's tubes for two sporting clays guns and have been very pleased with them. Good product and a reasonable price.
Thanks, Buffalo.
I've always used a 12 gauge for turkey as well and I don't know that this will change that but it did show me that the .410, with this modern ammunition, is capable of getting the job done. This is something that will help my son as he doesn't have the upper body strength to hold a 12 gauge steady for very long but he is pretty good with the little .410.
I was really sceptical of .410 Turkey hunting... but those TSS rounds impressed me.
Same!
Buffalo's Outdoors..
I was looking at a 12g for next season, but I already have a couple 12's in my collection... This is a perfect excuse to add a new caliber to my collection. Thx Buffalo!
Winchester 3inch 410 #6 will knock one out thirty no problem
My friend's son is 10 and has a .410 over and under. He has pulled off some long shots on clays that I never thought possible. He's a demon with it at pigeons and pheasants too.
That is AWESOME! I love to hear about the next generation out there getting it done!
Wow! I was NOT expecting either to penetrate that metal Roofing material. That TSS load is like ice picks. Who would have thought. Thanks brother.
You're very welcome. I learned some stuff on this one. I went into this video optimistic but cautious. This TSS stuff is for real!
Ok. The TSS load is impressive for sure. The metal roofing was the proof of better penetration. Thanks for sharing the video man. *:-)*
Thank you for watching and leaving the comment! I always appreciate it.
Great video. I bought the viper g2 to squirrel hunt and small game hunt. After I saw your video I also bought the Carlson choke tube for my boy to turkey hunt with. I bought browning 410 tss load we patterned it and I was impressed. Last weekend was Missouri's youth turkey season. Opening day he shot a coyote at 30yds with the .410 tss. On Sunday he shot his first Tom at 41yds with the .410. Thanks again for your video I don't think I will be able to talk him in to using a bigger gun after this past weekend.
I just picked up Stevens 301 for this year turkey hunt. Super excited and I will be using federal load. Great video
I'm impressed ! That's good to know, after multiple shoulder surgeries the recoil from a 12ga gets old! Thanks for info!
You're very welcome!
Thank you sir.
I'll try it in the future with my old school bolt action Mossberg .410
There's a few if us out there still using the 10 gauge. I'll be packing mine in a couple of months.
I hand load .850oz of 9.5 tss in my .410 with that same choke tube. Patterns and performance are unreal. Two gobblers down so far. Instant limp death, not even a flop. Both shots were sub 30yds but like you say. It’s about getting them close.
wow that was impressive at 40 yards. buddy you explain it so well even an old man like me understood. very well done. and yes I seen it move at 40 yards
Thanks Scott! It is nice seeing how active you have become on your own channel. Keep it up as we are enjoying it.
Great video, thanks! I had to look at the age of the video when you mentioned $5/shotshell. Recently (late 2022) I got a terrific deal from Academy Sports @$7/shotshell as compared to $10/shotshell from Dunham’s Sports, all in northeastern North Carolina. I never thought I would spend so much for ammo, but it is what it is.
Thanks, again, for a terrific, high-quality, video.
Blessings, Grace and Peace 😊
Recently purchased a 410 Viper G2 and have been quite impressed with it's quality, performance and value for dollar.
Looking at hunting turkey with it this spring here in Utah.
Just bought a Tristar raptor .410 yesterday. Buddy and I are doing a turkey challenge for Kansas 2020 spring season. Killer gun!!
LOL, that dog was getting a piggy back ride
Never would’ve considered a 410 for turkey. But if you think about it a lot of folks never considered 9mm to be a good carry round a few decades ago too! Great video Buff!
Good point!
Years ago I wanted to do some invasive modifications to my .410's bore, since it was shooting better than my 20 and it was smoother and lighter. For some reason the idea of a small bore shotgun that shoots tight enough to warrant a scope was and has been appealing. Haven't got to it yet but.. someday.
Me too,..I am impressed with the TSS load and .410 bore is a nice lighter weight gun to help to get the turkey for you.
This, is a conclusive test!
Thank you Reg! I appreciate your comment.
Awesome idea with the tin.
Amazing results with that #9 load.
Thanks. I was pleasantly surprised myself.
Yeah, that do be a surprise to me ! Some hard hitting little shot and nice pattern !
Looks like a good trade with the pig and dog, pig gets it back scratched and dog keeps its feet dry! 😊
Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
You've very welcome! These TSS loads surprised me. The pig and dog are best friends and I think you just pointed out why!
I love .410! I wish the ammo price would come down though.
I sure do like your videos, Buffalo! 😁👍😎 🦃
Glad to hear it! I appreciate the comment!
That sealed the deal for me! Thanks!
When that choke was machined it looks like it relieved in one axis. Notice how the pattern is obround to almost figure 8. Now if you could turn the choke so the majority of pellets could fall on the axis of the neck.
I just picked up an old winchester model 42 410 it's got a modified barrel I am going to try some of that ammo thanks for bringing us along buffalo
Thanks for hanging out with me Steve!
This was a very good review, thank you!
Very impressive I would’ve never thought it would’ve done that good.
thanks for sharing that
It surprised me too. I was a bit skeptical but that's why I like to do these things, to find out for myself.
Buffalo's Outdoors makes me wanna hunt with a 410, which I’ve never considered and very useful for hunting, my son has a 410 I need to find some of those shells so he can go turkey hunting
@@Leverguns50 Same thing that I was thinking for my son. He doesn't have the upper body strength yet to hold his 20 gauge steady for very long and that lightweight 20 gauge of his kicks the snot out of him. lol... this 410 will really help him.
Great video keep up the good work don't do much turkey hunting right now but I'm definitely going to pick some of them up for my backpacking 410 Rossi take a backpack and survival rifle as a full survival kit in it little heavy but oh well it's worth it but definitely want to grab some of them for a survival situation
Great video! Thank you for all you do for us!👍🏾😀❤️🇺🇸
I appreciate your comments Jeffry! Thank you.
WOW! I love that little gun! I have 2 double barrel 410’s & love hunting small game with them so now you’ve probably made me spend some more money on a Tri Star lol!!
Thanks for the video. Those TSS shots pack a heck of punch. That would be a heck of a turkey shotgun to use.
You're very welcome. Thank you for tuning in!
I’ve got the Tristar 410 and I’m running Jebs x-full choke tube with 6 and 4 shot Winchester and federal loads, shot 20 plus ducks with it on one hunt, both steel and brass
The first shotgun I ever fired was my Oklahoma grandmother's Stevens side by side .410. I was about 8 at the time, and I thought the recoil was brutal. I shot it again about 30 years later, and the recoil was so light I thought something was wrong with it.
It's all about perspective! Thanks for sharing.
Shot my very first turkey yesterday. I’m in northern Minnesota and I seen this video and handful of others on this ammo and decided to try it. Used my Stevens 555 in 410 with federal tss 9 shot and dropped a 9” bearded Tom at 35 yards in his tracks. Still can’t believe this load is real lol
The penetration was impressive! I might have to try some in my 20 guage. Thanks for the review!!!
I am going to try some in my 12 gauge next. I'll try to get that on video as well.
Fine shooting as always. Very informative.
Thanks!
Last season both of my young sons killed their first turkeys with a Savage model 42 chambered in .410 using TSS loads.
Although expensive, TSS loads produce results.
February 29th and March 1st are opening day youth spring turkey dates.
And yes, we are going to use the same setup.
Great video Buffalo I never thought of the .410 being a Turkey gun but it is. I am going to say something that a lot of folks are going to call me out on. I have hunted turkey for about 7 years now I use a 20 gauge with 7/8 ounce #6 2 3/4 Remington Shure shot dove. It has never let me down yet out to 35 yards. I used 3-inch mags for a while then I thought about how I can kill a squirrel with 2 3/4 loads out to 40 or 50 yards and had to pattern it for turkey's and it did great.
The stock on the shotgun looks great
That's amazing. Good video.
I started using a 410 last season about mid-way thru. My first morning out with it I stoned one at 21 yards, he fell in his tracks and hardly even flopped. I carried it thru the end of the season and did pass on a couple of birds that were out to 40. I was not 100% confident on making a clean kill that far out as the gun was still new to me as were the #9 Federal TSS loads. However since then, with more familiarity and testing with this set-up I am completely confident in a clean kill out to 40. I do not need any more range for my preference in turkey hunting. I figure if I cant get him inside of 40 he deserves to roost another evening and I need to get better at what I am doing. I got the tristar (cant remember the model) but it is dipped in bottomland and has the drop or pistol grip, also came with attachment points for a sling and a rail mount for a red dot. This thing is plain and simple a joy to tote all over the turkey woods as it weighs probably less than half what my Vinci does.
That’s a very impressive test! I’ve always been a fan of the .410 (except when I’m standing at the cash register). I shut off a crow at about 30 yards with one. Feathers flew off and he tumbled out of control straight to the ground. I can’t recall what specific shell I was using though. But those Tungsten shells definitely look like a winner.
Thank you for the comment and I know exactly what you mean.
I did get 1 box but wow they are pricey good thing I got them on sale. I love shooting skeet with 410 I am so tempted to buy a Hennry lever action 410
Tungsten is a definite game changer!! Right now I am working on Tungsten loads for deer hunting- (here in VA, we use shotguns and buckshot) A 12 gauge 3.5” load of 2” Tungsten BB is deadly way further than lead buckshot. I am hoping to try some BBs in the 410.
Seeing your Tristar throw patterns like that, makes me want to add one to my gun safe!!!
I have to agree with you. I wasn't totally sold on the TSS but the more I shoot it the more it keeps surprising me. Thank you for the comment. I wish we could use buck shot on deer here.
Thanks, interesting to see what the tss shot will do in a .410
I started turkey in the 70 I did most my hunting with a16 Ga Man I would love to hunt with my old 16 Ga with a TSS.
i'd really love to see someone do a test like this with the Rossi Circuit Judge since my mum has one she loves and REALLY wants to go turkey hunting. i know it's a novelty gun but if it could get the job done at 20-30 yards with the TSS that'd make her life, not just her day
That's unreal awesome job buddy
Awesome video! These shells will get my little guy in the turkey woods much sooner!
This is exactly what I was thinking. My son hasn't developed the upper body strength to hold my 12 gauge steady for very long. He can however handle the .410 just fine.
The outro cracked me up. I had a club footed rooster that friended our pig. He rode on his back.
The pig got too large to keep pinned up and we had to give him away. Told the guy he had to take the little funky yellow rooster too.
We've seen some weird pairings of "friends" here on our little farm. This dog and pig are besties. You never see one without the other.
Here's a funny story for ya... Last year 2 Toms, and a few hens were heading right for me, walking up an old logging road. I took my shot at what looked like the biggest Tom. Feathers flew, as my soft point .223 did its thing. The hens take off running, but the OTHER Tom starts flogging the one that I shot. It literally flogged this thing all the way down the mountain, and over a high wall. Probably 60 yards, or so. I follow the feathers down the hill, and sure enough, my kill was laying in a very thick briar patch, over the high wall. It was the funniest thing I had ever seen, turkey hunting. LMAO
I have had similar things happen. I don't know if the others think he got struck by lightening and try to take advantage of him or what! LOL I enjoyed the story so thank you. I am interested though in what are you legal to hunt turkey with a rifle. We are limited to shotguns using bird shot no larger than number 4 here in KY.
You've convinced me! Unfortunately that small size shot is not legal for turkey here in Maine. I'm gonna get some of that ammo to try in my 410!
I don't know if it helps but they offer it in number 7 as well. Here in KY they used to limit us to between 4s, 5s or 6s but recently changed the laws due to the advances of tungsten shot.
i agree with ya.... i spend extra money on hornady "super-formance" rounds for my 308
little less drop..... and both the 100% copper and normal lead rounds hit HARD!
now, if im just out shooting targets.... i shoot federal SP-BT 150 grain's.....
but for the last 5 rounds sighting in the rifle every year....... and actually shooting at deer
i DO! like the extra velocity
Beautiful gun.
Awesome video!just bought the boy a savage 301 turkey!
That's pretty cool I've never been super interested in Turkey hunting just because I don't feel like carrying around big 12 ga shotgun idk maybe I need a modern shot gun
With modern advancements in shotshells there are now more options than ever! I warn you about trying turkey hunting though, it is addictive!
Awesome well put together video!
Thank you!
TSS very impressive on the metal roofing/siding. And as you said, at $5 a shell, it ain't like you're using it on a dove hunt...
Right. I know some will get worked up over the price but in the grand scheme of things it's a small cost and on something that really matters. Thanks for watching!
Have killed 7 gobblers now with #9 tss in 20ga and it is lethal, as always thanks for sharing
That's awesome. I had my doubts but from my testing and all the testimonials from folks like you I am coming around!
haha, thats a funny looking little choke tube. im used to looking at 12ga tubes.
Nice test !
Thank you.
That's awesome! I think I'm like a lot of hunters in that I've always loved the .410. The first gun I hunted with at 6 years old. But don't hunt with it cause not as versatile or effective as the 12 guage. After watching this I may have to reconsider the .410. Thank you.
Very good test!
Thanks!
Love 410! The only reason we don't use it more often is the price of the ammo. Our Tri Star came with three chokes
great video, I shoot a lot of sporting clays with the 410. I run tighter chokes 410 is fun to shoot.....
Well, hell, I'm impressed!
Your Still doing great video s buffalo with the 410 👍🦃
Thanks you!
Well done video. $5 a shot shell is high, but like you said you might not shoot 2 or 3 of them a season. Here in Alabama we're allowed a total of 5 gobblers and I would be more than willing to pay $25 to shoot 5 gobblers.
Exactly! I am jealous of your 5 bird limit though!
Wow! I surprised with those sheet metal results!
The sheet metal got my attention! 👍😎👍
Great reviews from one Kentuckian to another!!!
Awesome content buffalo.. been thinking on doing a review on the Tristar Cobra 410 pump.
Color me impressed. Would have never thought that from a 410. Now you have me wanting to get one of those little "four hunerd and tens". :) I think shooting a 3/4" or 1" piece of pvc pipe would be interesting as well.
I really enjoy your videos, well done !😊👍
Thank you! I appreciate the comment!
Nice testing and I would have never guessed to use with turkey....Good stuff....
Thanks Scott!
Awesome video 😁👍
Ive seen other videos of this round,but they were done by reps of the company...I was tickled to see Buffalo test it and give us an unbiased opinion..Seems like the reps were not exaggerating their claims on this one..
I approached this video optimistic but cautious. I didn't know how this would go but after doing it I am impressed.
Our buddy Buffalo is a straight shooter. That's why we like him.
@@DaveTex2375 Thanks Dave!
That is impressive
Impressive.
Gift of gab much, dang
Thank you. Some call it a gift. Some call it a curse. I don't think much of it. I just talk about different things and see how it goes. Sometimes it takes me down different roads that I didn't expect. Sometimes I just end up talking in circles but I always enjoy it. Everyone one around me loves it so it's really a win win. I mean sure every now and then I get accused of saying too much but you know how it is. Everyone has different tastes. Speaking of tastes I had the most delicious steak this evening. I grilled it right at medium rare and browned a few onions with it. Very nice. Well, sorry to cut my reply short but I reckon I should go ahead and get on off this here internet for the night. Have a good one and keep your head up. One day you may discover that you have a gift as well. When you do, please use it to make the world a better place. Again I thank you for your comment as sometimes people leave really negative comments on videos that they watch for free. It's the strangest thing. But your comment was nice recognizing my gift and all.
Wow impressive !!!
Thanks!
Really good shooting with the gun!!
going back to the smaller turkey gun is my desire
Seems like a perfect load for turkey hunting. No recoil, and a good load.
It really opened my eyes seeing how well it worked for myself.
Those are very impressive for .410 . I would use that if I had a .410 .
Hey Buffalo I hope some day thay make a TSS 2 3/4 I have my old shotgun and my dad old shotguns. Don’t ever hunt with tham so I hope TSS makes one for tham shotguns. Thanks what you are doing
Very impressive can't Deni that bro!
I'm gonna sound dumb but growing up turkey shot was expensive so I used the steel shot (12 gauge) that I had for waterfowl, never gave me any problems. Although this whole hunting turkey with 410 seems pretty interesting, if nothing else could be a much lighter way to do things.
That is an amazing demonstration my friend. Like you said, not for doves or targets, but dang, amazing for valuable game. I wonder if #3 or #4 buck would drastically increase the useful range of a 20 ga.
Good question. In KY we are limited to bird shot for turkeys but you may be speaking about just in general. I would have to set up the patterning targets and find out!
Kinda ironic that your TriStar .410 is a true Turkey made shotgun . I like it and have thought of owning one myself one day , for the price it`s perfect . Good luck finding a Turkey , now that you are well prepared to take the Turkey home with you .
Thanks! It is ironic. I wish I would have mentioned that it's a Turkish Turkey gun in the video!
Crazy that #9 shot tungsten holds that much energy on target.
I've been thinking about what you told me about good sound on videos, what mic do you use? I've been looking at different mics on Amazon
I actually record my audio separatley from the video. I wear a Rode SmartLav+ mic hooked into a Zoom H1n recorder and sync it up with the video later. That is my main set up. As far as my on camera microphone I like shotgun mics as they shut out a lot of background noise and pickup sound from directly in front of them. I have a Rode VideoMic that I use on the camera. If the Rode brand is too expensive check out a brand called BOYA on Amazon. I have had good results with those as well. On a side note DO NOT get the "Rode video mic GO". I had terrible results with that one.
Interesting.
Thanks!
Very interesting review thanks for sharing 👌👌 just subscribed
I have only used a 10GA for Turkey.... during my adolescence, the idea of a .410 for Turkey would have been laughed at. It’s kind of neat that technology is leading us in this direction.
I had trouble wrapping my mind around it. But this video really opened my eyes. I do these videos for me just as much as I do for anyone else. I like it when I don't have a predetermined outcome. Thanks!
