RE: 00 buckshot
Buckshot is normally used for deer hunting at very close range or home defense.Buckshot comes in several sizes #4 being the smallest and 000 the largest. You should be able to find the actualpellet sizeonan ammunition makers website. You may want to try the Remington site, it normally have alot of good info.
If my old memoryis right, 00 Buck is 32 cal and 000 is 36 cal but I could bewrong.

"Its for deer. It is just really big shot."
Buckshot is now illegal for deer hunting in manystates, as it should be! IF you have the willpower to limit your shooting at deer to 20-25 yards, it can be effective. It's also great for protection against lions, tigers & bears (OH MY!!) that are about to bite you, if you shoot them up close where the shot charge acts like one huge, solid projectile! But if you take shots with it at ranges where the pattern has opened up to where only 3-5 of the pellets strike the deer in various places, vital and not-so-vital, it can permit a deer to run off to die a long way from where it was shot! I once sawa little buck that had three 00-buck pellets through it, twothrough the lungs and one in the heart, that had travelled 1.5 miles from where it was shot (Fort Pickett, VA). If we had not been using hounds that day, we never would have found that deer.
