buckshot loads
today i shot and patterened some 2 7/8 inch 10 ga buckshot loads..the loads were 1 1/4 ounce of 00 buck pushed by 35 grains of bluedot...target was at 40 steps target a 30 inch cardboard circle..gun used a parker ph grade 10 ga 32 inch barrels..results was all 9 pellets were put into the circle with the right barrel. the left barrel also put all 9 pellets in the circle...recoil was very pleasant. both barrels on gun werefull choke and it is a twist steel barrel gun...this is my own opinion but i think this load will safely and cleanly take a deer out to 45 yards..i have taken 3 deer with similar loads with this gun... charlie
