Bullets on Steel (Part 2)

[gunsfishand4x4]

hichok.... have a question about my remington 870. for the second time now the left ejector pin jammed. not releasing the shell in the magazine??? have any comments? took it a gun smith has every mechanism replaced

[bobbyv125]

hey hick quick question here my friend, do these steel targets stop the bullet from ricocheting ? i have almost 4 acres here in Connecticut, YUP A DARN BLUE STATE!! DARN LIBERAL PROGRESSIVES HERE!!;} Anyway i want to shoot my 22 , was just wondering if they kill the bullet..thanks pal and great vid's my friend

[damon323]

This is probably the dumbest question in history cause Im new to this, but dont the bullets ricochet and fly back at you when you are shooting steel? I would really like to set up some targets like that when I go shoot my Glock 21(my first pistol never fired yet) How to I avoid the bullets from flying back at me or my family if Im shooting metal or steel targets like that. I will be shooting new factory ammo by the way.

[tiggerr42431]

This was such fun to watch and such skill at distance with the heavy ones.

[pyrosimple]

WTF?!!! I could see the bullets flying!!!!!

[Pirlinetor]

Interesting to see that (in the first seconds of the video) you can literally see the bullet going towards the gong! Marvellous XD

[mrmikerotch]

Die bowling pin, die!

[meandale]

Impressive shooting.

[cajun47]

"short chuck", thanks. now i know what to call it. i had that problem with 2 remington 870 express shotguns. i just can't pump those right.

i bought a mossberg 500a and had 0 problems. love it. i just killed a 7 point buck with it.

[thebakuman77]

nice

[kylian272]

did the camera-man once got hit by the empty bullet rounds what fly's out of the gun?

[bigjohn88TN]

if you are talking about brass then yes it has happend before. On the A2 video I got smacked on the nuckel by a hot case when I was trying to get a close up.

[TacticalSRT]

Now that's some awesome shooting!!! I didn't know shotguns were that accurate. Thanks for the video.

[juanox10]

@TacticalSRT its not the shotgun thats accurate, its the shooter

[MrReloadn]

I really love the classic 629. Please lets see more of it

[hummusbomb]

for all the money they cost, benelli seems to jam a lot. i got a friend who had an m4 and it just FTFd all the time, apparently something obstructed a gas port, we fixed it but come on for that much money eh. i will stick with my 500 mossy

[hickok45]

My Super 90 doesn't have any gas ports. I just took it totally apart this afternoon and cleaned it. IT seems fine. Might have been the Winchester bulk slugs I got at Walmart, though I haven't had any problems with them before.

[deadtofall666]

@hickok45 5:04 shell failed to eject, my best friend shoots and 870 and that happens to it quite regularily actually, have and suggestions? and i shoot a mossberg 500 and have put over 1000 rounds through it and it has never had a single jam or mishap.

[soilo86]

what kind of slugs are those?? just wondering... i use the remington slugger 1 oz out of a mossberg 590 and i get 3 inch group at 100 yds with a bead sight

[hickok45]

Just some Winchester Foster slugs - bulk pack. I shoot a lot of slugs in my videos, so I buy them in bulk packs.

[camaro76]

Wow, that's some great shooting on both sides of the camera!

[NoiseMostBeautiful]

have an 870tac that I also love. It patterns so well at 5-20 yards with defensive loads that I shoot it as often as I do my handguns, and probably have more fun doing it than the handguns. keep it up H, I've enjoyed the christmas week subscriptions.

[9secondsflat]

very slow moving round, you can see the bullets path just prior to impact.

[masonrox2547]

how much did that target you signed end up going for?

[hickok45]

I got a 100 rd box of 223, two boxes of .40 S&W, and three bulk packs of 12 gauge slugs for it. I've already used some of the slugs in this very video! ($105.00)

[masonrox2547]

wow, that not bad lol

you should sell a few more things with your name on it and you could buy all the ammo you would ever need, which im sure is ALOT!

[hickok45]

Thanks, but it's not that my autograph is really worth anything; I'm not exactly a celebrity. I think it was a chance for some people who had expressed interest to help out with some ammo expenses. I'll try to keep some range and video related things listed on Ebay for this reason. It's simple enough to do.

[MrSurgicalPrecision]

Short shucking. Thats the only reason I prefer my Winchester 1300 Speedmaster over the 870. I just let the gun do the first half of the work. Both great guns.

[blackquiver]

addictied

[blackquiver]

give me the gong...

[slickj1000]

wat kind shotgun shells u use hickok

[pdalko]

240gr LSWC?

[hickok45]

240 gr. RNFP. Several years ago I started buying RNFP bullets for my .44s, knowing that I would be possibly betting a Marlin 1894 lever gun at some point. They feed better in a lever gun. Of course, then I discovered that my .429 and .430 bullets would nto shoot well in my Marlin. Duh. So, I can't shoot these particular rounds in my rifle unless I want them traveling sideways.

[USNERDOC]

Merry Christmas Hickok!

[theKGB65]

It's fun to watch the slugs drop onto the gonger. Also, I could hear your neigbor shooting near the end of your show.

Merry Christmas Eve, Eve!

[desteve811]

for someone who shoots as much as you do, how often do you clean your guns? after every use?

[bigjohn88TN]

@desteve811 yes we usually do a basic cleaning after every use.

[RcUniverseGuy]

how many firearms does your father have?

[Navyguy0023]

Another awesome video!

[dullbrass]

870 rocks :o)

[QcHernan17]

Happy christmas

[1glockfan]

Great video. Love the 12 gauge slug. I don't think anything beats 1 ounce of stopping power.

[UOstudent]

Another video well done Hickok!

[orcaluv]

Merry Christmas Hickok.

[J1Z06]

Hello Hickock! :) Merry Christmas to you! are you aiming a little higher or poa/poi? That must be terrific to have your own range! :) Thanks for the gr8 videos.

[gragrn]

See you later Wild Bill.......

[chemist91]

Thank you hickok45. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Thank you for your videos. From a new fellow shooter 42 years too late.

[MadBadVoodo]

Five Stars My Friend!

[BroPaul]

LEAD -- The new Gold! Precious metal! -- Great stuff as always!!!

[biguy525]

What type of powder are you using in the 44 mag? It kinda looks like black powder there seems to be a lot of smoke. It probably came out of one of those containers that say "smokeless powder" on it. Have a Merry Christmas.

[hickok45]

I use 2400.  That, combined with the bullet lube, sometimes makes quite a lot of smoke.

[huttwigley]

I envy you shooting steel! Hearing the audible "PING!" when you nail it must be instant gratification! Sure beats shooting paper targets at an indoor range! Merry Christmas!

[Sochill247]

Haha, for sure! Steel is so much fun, however i enjoy both types. Hickok should rent out his range to people! That would bring in some ammo cash bigtime! :P

[OilTheGun]

Merry Christmas and thanks for sharing.

[cardiacthapoet]

oh ok i understand perfectly. could you show some of your storage units or safes? outside of your home

[Chiliconnada]

No 230 yd shots with that heavy lead? Are you slippin'? Have a Merry Christmas!

[Ninety9Soulz]

Is that a police magnum 870?

[stevetinyhallman]

Great video as usual.

[redneckjwillo]

thanx iv ben missin your vids

[GunFreak270]

2:46 look t that blued barrel shine!!

[lynette1953]

mr. hickok is the guy every one will come to when the zombies invade......

[Machi74005]

Were the slugs in 2 3/4" or 3" shells? By they way, great shotgun there......you cannot beat a Remington 870 for reliability and power. With "slugability" you functionally can turn a shotgun into a carbine rifle.

[jlunit416]

I never realized how resilient bowling pins were.

[Graham662]

Where can i get a steel target, nervous to use some scrap steel because of the ricochet chance

[hickok45]

Check online. There are lots of target companies. I bought many of these from arntzentargets.

[cardiacthapoet]

great vid, Hickock. could you do a vid where you display how you store your guns and ammo?

[hickok45]

For security reasons, probably not. I AM very lucky, though, that our little community bank has some very, very large lock boxes in the vault.

[00mickys00]

Season's Greetings and many thanks for the videos!

[budgray18]

good ol 870. want one so damn bad

[glock10mm]

Awesome

[TheFirearmEnthusiast]

They don't look very fast do they? Awesome!

[cromer77]

Merry Christmas! I'm going shooting in the morning. Ill see if I can get a video

[Smokeater68]

Excellent! Merry Christmas!
