As far as buckshot in a sixteen gauge I have some experience. I was loading 6 pellets of triple-ought buck in a low pressure 2-1/2" load. I kept them in my hip pocket for the feral hogs I ran across while out quail hunting. I bought a German drilling with tight original chokes. I looked at the end of the barrels and got worried about somehow bulging them with the large buckshot. I posted over on the Doublegun and several people posted with specific information that that shot was too large for a sixteen. You might do a search in the main section under "Buckshot" on the doublegun. A couple of the European members had quotes as I remember. Geno said to put a matchsticks in to keep the large buckshot in line.
Best,
Mike
