[QUOTE="TerryP, post: 4022144, member: 1564"] Something else to remember about using buckshot. Your goal is to run the larger shot sizes so the balls penetrate the target to a satisfactory depth. Penetration is very important. Next thing is shooting a variety of buckshot load combinations to discover what patterns the best in yours, the goal is to keep all the pellets in the target as far out as possible to extend the range the shot charge is effective. I even tried the various 3in magnum 00buck loads in my 500 and gave up due to the harsh recoil. Sellier & Bellot made an odd one that in my 500 would place all 00 pellets inside the zero zone of a idpa target at 25 yards. That was as good as it got. [/QUOTE]
