remington nickel plated 3" OO. I had a box of 10....out of that box, i killed 7 deer, 2 of which are hanging on the wall. Can't beat good luck buck shot.

I use Remington in my son's 20ga 2 3/4" #3 BS. In my shotgun I use Federal 3 1/2" 00 BS.

You have to shoot a variety of sizes to see what size shoots the best.

Test a bunch out one day...spend the money and buiy a bunch of what ever loads your gun can handle them throw some shots down range.

Each gun is different. You have to spend the time and pattern your gun with different brands and then go with the one that shoots the best. For me, it's federal 3.5 00 Buck

Good luck

Have to pattern your gun and find what it likes best. I just went through 4 different kinds of buckshot for my 11-87 and found the regular Federal 3" 00 buck shot best (not the copper plated). My 870 likes Remington 3" 000.

All depends on the gun.

I shoot a super black eagle w/ a pattern master extended range tube at 46 yards I put 14 pellets in a group the size of my hand w/ federal 3.5 00

I've tried different chokes and different loads.

I'm satisfied with 2 3/4" 00 feds and 00 Wins out of my brush gun with a cylander bore. I have a good 8" pattern out to 35 yards. I'm gonna pattern some 000 tomorrow out of both the brush barrel and the 28" field barrel.

I have a Mossberg 500.

I don't shoot buckshot beyond 30-35 yards, thats just me.

305Airborne · Dec 1, 2006

I think the all around most reliable shell for most situations is the 3" magnum 00 buck. The gun I use with that ammunition has a 28" barrel with full choke. I am 100% efficient with this setup. The gun is a pump action, but if your wealthier you can even use a semi-auto to place more rounds down field even faster. I try to use my slug gun when I'm in a stand because I like the stopping power, but when I'm stalking or out on opening day of 6 day firearm I use buckshot.

Winchester OO Buck works well with my gun,2 3/4 shells

Yep, expensive research but buy a box of everything and then a couple boxes of whatever shot best.

essex deer hunter · Dec 1, 2006
