I can tell you this, Snit...at close range, a bang in the head with buckshot makes for a deer that is literally dead before it hits the ground. Best way ever to put zero holes in your food.

Nick shot a spike a few years ago and we couldn't even find one of its antlers

Usually a good shot to the lungs that hits well results in the now familiar and expected back flop...they tip up on their hind legs, and go over backwards...they may kick a bit, but they are dead dead dead.

The knock down power of 00 buckshot from 15 to 30 yards is crazy heavy...nine .32 caliber BBs traveling at high speed can do some damage...and if you shoot Nick's gun, that shoots 3 1/2 inch magnums, you get 12 of those BBs.

Keith, I'ma go look up that shell right now!

Fish on...
