Hey All,
Thinking about trying my hand at shotgun hunting this fall since the ranges of typical shots here are pretty friendly to buckshot. Other than just patterning different kinds of shot, the only experience I have is a buck taken from 40 yards with 00 and that was kind of pushing it. Only one pellet found the mark.
If anyone here uses buckshot a lot, what woud you suggest? Stick with the 00 or go smaller for a denser pattern? How does the lighter stuff likwe No4 fare against medium game?
