Not trying to be rude but you clearly do not understand how shotshells are loaded. 1st of all, 000buck is .36 cal, not .30 ,and there is more than 3 pellets in a 12ga 2 3/4-3 1/2 load of 000buck, between 9-16. 00 buckshot shells have even more pellets. As far as "shot placement" there is no such thing in a shotgun. The best you can do, is try to put as many pellets as possible, in the general area you are aiming at. As far as more pellets being better than 1, the difference is each buckshot pellets weighs around 40 70 grains each, and lose velocity fast and generally do not penetrate much. A slug weighs 440 grains and usually comes out the other siide leaving a very big hole.
