What do you think my max range isto kill a deer with a Remington 870 Express Super Magnum shooting 3 1/2 inch Remington Express 18 pellet-00BK buckshot?
25-30 yards. Buckshot is THE WORST POSSIBLE AMMUNITION FOR HUNTING DEER!There is a good reason why buckshot IS ILLEGAL FOR DEER HUNTING IN MOST STATES! It's because too many wounded deer are lost after being hit by two or threebuckshot pellets!~

I would never use buckshot if there is a legal alternative.

El,
I am not a big fan of buckshot either! Discipline to not try long shots is needed especially when using buckshot! As I believe Dan said, most people that see a big deer out of buckshot range are not going to have discipline though!
While Buckshot is still legal here in Texas, we have outlawed it as a lease rule!

While the nay-sayers are running down 30-30's in another thread and buckshot here, I will be out, in the words of Uncle Ted, whackin' 'em and stackin' 'em with my Benelli and buckshot and my Marlin 30-30. I have never lost a deer with either.

Don't use the buckshot. You want to kill the deer with one shot. I have known too many people that have used buckshot and have not killed the deer. Use some slugs and have at er.
