The Lefever is a G grade with 32" barrels that I purchased from a member a few years ago choked .036 and .038 and weighing 8 pds. 2 oz. It was intended for Squirrels and Mad Jack, but I've gotten the itch to hunt deer again so, not knowing the psi of factory buckshot, I began experimenting handloads. I do put some buffer material in my loads just in case it may improve the grouping. Slugs or Buckshot are both legal here but you need a scoped, or iron sighted, shotgun to use slugs. I tried them once in a pump gun and my shoulder will never forget the recoil.
