having tried buckshot on deer, Im a firm believer in using nothing but SLUGS, on deer or elk or bear,
ideally in an accurate shotgun DESIGNED for slug use,
an accurate slug gun with a rifled barrel can more than triple a shotguns effective reach over the best buckshot loading's.
THIS SAVAGE 12 GA bolt action, IS AN EXCELLENT and reliable and accurate SHOT GUN
these bolt action shotguns have rifled bore designed to stabilize slugs
