RE: Maximum range of "00" and deer?
DEPENDS ON THE GUN CHOKE AND HOW IT PATTERNS, When i use buckshot i use 3in.#1 mags with a xtra full choke. The buckshot can be deadly way out there,but to make a clean humane kill on deer don't shoot more than 40 yards and thats pushing it. Try and hunt a spot that your shot will be 20 yards or less.
