Failing that, I'd get some 000 Buck 3" shells.

After using 00 000 and no4 on deer I'm not a fan of buckshot for any type of game but if required I would use this.

I second Krochus's post i was gonna post that same round but i forgot the name of it...haha

oooh, I didn't know anyone was actualy making Buck & Ball.

I know cool huh! What's weird though is they won't call it that and it's not marketed to hunters. I guess that's not a tacticool enough market.

Sportsmansguide sells the stuff, that's where I learned about it.

I wasn't sure that stuff was legally buckshot. I'm hunting a WMA here that just opened for hogs for two months, same deal, buckshot only. So, I ordered 3.5"00 magnums for my 10 gauge. 18 pellets to the round, like firing both barrels at once on my 12 with 2 3/4". I reckon that's the best I can do with traditional buckshot. At least the gun patterns nice and tight. Fortunately, most hogs are ambushed at quite short range, but I'll have to pass on anything past 50 yards for sure, pretty much bow range. Actually, I was looking at this stuff from Dixie Slugs called "triball", but it's pushing the buckshot definition a bit. It fires three 60 caliber ball from one round of 3" 12 gauge. Figure it's like firing 3 smooth bore 58 caliber muskets at once.
