Loaded up two more with 0000 buck buffered , also loaded four with eight 00000 buckshot buffered as well . Then I loaded eight with the .775” 730 grain slug which needed one 12 gauge nitro card to have the correct height . All are using 31 grains of Clays and a CCI209M .

Whitetail sadly I’ve not been on the Eastern Shore of Maryland to hunt Sika in three or four years . Since I’ve put my pop in an adult care facility now I could try and do Blackwater NWR this season , but based on current events I think I’ll just hunt around here besides damage control three months and then three months of archery , ml and gun here I should get my fill .

Okay shot the four slugs and the pair of 0 buck . I’m going to need to go to the range and shoot something larger than my cardboard boxes for the slugs might also need a wrap or two of masking tape to snug them a bit . But I’m pleased that the snap .... boom ceased . The 0 buck shot nicely at 30 yards so Tuesday I’ll carry the 8 gauge and sit a different spot until dark or until I plunk one .
