As for buckshot for hogs and deer , my wife and I hunted with nothing except shotguns with buckshot for about 20 years.many , many , many deer and hogs have fallen to the two of us. she shot a Rem. 100 in 16ga. with #1 buck.I shoot a 12 ga. with nothing except #4 buck.they work very well for us.my Mom and Dad also hunted with us and they use 12 ga. with #1 buck.
We all have taken over the years 100's of hogs up to and over 350 lbs.all with buckshot.not to mention the deer that we took.

20 ga. with buckshot will take most hogs to 30 yards.
