Lets see I've loaded buck for the 10 , 12 , 16 and 20 . Parkers , Smiths and Foxs along with a single Ithaca NID and a W&C Scott .
And I'm now dicking around with home cast/loaded slugs in the 10 and 12 .
But what I do with these guns loaded as such may not constitute what you are referring to . 90% of the time when I have a shotgun with buck or slug I also have a rifle up the tree with me in case the deer is further then I care to shoot with the shotgun or if the deer is big in the head gear I'm going to pound him with a rifle .
So yes I use them but generally it's more of an option for me .
And with that being said I've killed deer with the 10 using 000 , 00 , 0 and 1 buck . In the 12 with home cast slug and factory loaded slug(factory loaded sabot ammo was used in a rifled gun) . in the 16 with #1 buck and in the 20 with factory loaded sabot slugs (a rifled gun).
This coming season the tops on my hit parade will be the 10 gauge with 0000, #2 , #3 buck and slugs , the 12 gauge with 0 Buck , the 16 with Brenneke slug , the 20 gauge with #2 and #3 buck as well as Brennneke slug .
