I shot 0 Buck handloads in several 12 gauge guns today !
Parker VH , Parker VHE , LC Smith Ideal , LC Smith Field with sleaved Westley Richards barrels , Utica Fox Sterlingworth and an Ithaca NID . All did well enough at 25 yards for a deer !
Tried some handloaded #3 buck loads in the little Philadelphia Fox Sterlingworth 20 gauge . This ones choked IC/M and I was surprised when the patterns in both barrels were not that great !
Shot several patterns with the circa 1940 H&R Bay State single barrel and handloaded #1 buck . This thing will flat out drill a deer at 25 yards .
