Tom,
You sound like you have a lot of experience with buckshot. I have always used a rifle or muzzloader, but I am curious. Where do you like toaim at a broadside deer, and how fast do they go down after being hit with a load of 00 buckshot? Do you get complete penetration?

Mr Davis
I am not Tom and probably don't have his experience, but I have never had a deer take a step after being hit with buckshot.I have never counted pellets but probably 50% have passed through on the 12-15 deerthat I have killed, however I can't recall ever having a pass through on a hog. I have been using Remington 3" magnum 00, but I found a deal on Federal 3" magnum 00 and will be shooting them this year. Depending on distance, I aim for heart/lung or maybe slightly higher past 30 yards.
