only shotgun i use is the mossberg 835 ulti-mag. it's just as dependable as the old mossbergs. i have successfully taken a wild hog at 100 yards with buckshot, using the 3.5" 00 buckshot and the extra full turkey choke. normally i would not have tried this shot with this equipment but i was on private land with no else in the area and wanted to see if it could be done. i love my mossberg.
