Moose, shoot the 00 buck... your shoulder will thank you for it and you dont have a rifeled barrel for your 12. Rifeled slugs are notorously un-accurate.
This may be one of the most ridiculous statements I have read on this board in some time. If recoil is going to be the deciding factor inrecommending ammuntion to this individual perhaps we should not be having this discussion at all. The difference in recoil between shoot 9 .33cal projectiles out of a 12ga or one standard rifled slug is so negligeable in the field as to make its discussion laughable.
As far as acuuracy you say rifled slugs are "
notorously un-accurate.", compared to what? A benchrest rifle? We are making a comparison here between 00 buck and a rifled slug at 40yds.
Virtually all modern shotguns are capable of shooting at least 2in groups at 40 yds with rifled slugs. If a gun that shoots 2in at 40yds is not accurate enough for a shooter, that individual has no place shooting at living game.
Let me make it clear, I have nothing against buckshot. I simply want this individualmake his decision based on fact., not on some random statement that has no merit.
DITTO!
