I' m also wondering about the 00 ...... I know in some areas you can' t use a rifle, and in some slugs are forbidden, but if you had a chhoice, why use buckshot if you could use a slug ?

I would think that you' d lose more meat with shot, as well as being somewhat less accurate when compared to a slug..... but that' s what I **think** - I' ve never hunted with buckshot, but would like to learn about any advantages/disadvantages.

Thanks in advance for any and all insight.

I guess I' m still learning after 20+ years ............
