Wait a minute!!!!!!!! ole Johnny Reb and them Damn Yankees learned a long time ago that the Minnie was much more accurate than a round ball in a rifled barrel.--So, does this hold true in a smooth bore?

Then there is the question of ----say, 000 buckshot. In an 8 bore, you could get a lot of them in the hull. Do you have a better chance of killing the deer at 70 yards with a bunch of 000 buckshot than you do with one round ball?

I don't know the answers, but now I am curious.
