My buckshot of choice is the estate 2n3/4" no.4 first shot is alwaws the best holds a real tight pattern at 100yards second and third shots spread a lil more.hot barrel. whats your shot of choice. I use this on deer,coydogs,and bobcat.

Fiocchi Top Trap2, 2,4mm dia. 24grams, good for hunting and our steel plate challenge!

Buckshot at 100 yards? That is really good.

Buckshot size depends on what I am using it for. Each has its purpose. I like 00 or 000 for deer/hogs. I have been looking at getting some 0000 or molding some .58 caliber and trying them for hogs. Of course, slugs are always useful.

When it comes to case capacity, you can get more #1 per weight (16 @ 640 grams) in 12 gauge shell than 00 (9 @ 474 grams).

Again, each has its purpose.

Slugs are fine for hogs! We´re using the 450grs selfmade ones. Normally the bucksot is for very short distances over here.

I agree with john 100yds is out there for buck shot.

I've been using Win Super X 00 buck in 3 inch for years. I've killed several deer and even some crows that were way out of bird shot range. It works but it's pure hell on the shoulder.

The next time I stock up on buck shot it will probably be #4 in 2 3/4.

For deer I have been using Winchester 3-1/2 inch #4's but I haven't got the chance to drop the hammer on one yet. 50 yards would be about my limit.

J.B.

Winchester supreme 3.5 00 buck in my 1187 with a kick's buck kicker choke tube patterns good out to 60 yards.

100 yds w/ #4 buck from a 2 3/4" shell? Somebody do the ft.lbs of energy on that for me please... I like #4 Buck for close range due to the number of projectiles in a 2 3/4 shell, catch 2 coyotes for the price of one @ 25-40yds, but at 100 I don't think I'd do that...much as I despise coyotes I still want clean kills.
