Craig I was looking into larger size buckshot online today and one of the first things it pulled up was a thread you posted on the castbulletassoc forum about 0000 buck haha.
I was looking to see if anyone had experimented with casting hardcast buckshot but couldnt find much information. I seen one person mention perhaps hardcast might not be ideal for buckshot since it wouldnt expand as much however I dont think buckshots killing power is from expansion but from putting multiple holes in a vital organ. Although a different issue might be how rough would hardcast buckshot be on full chokes I doubt theres much information to find on that either though. |

Funny you mention the 10 gauge as there is a Holland&Holland 10 gauge paradox gun on GI.

I’ve used 10 gauge with 0000 and 00000 homecast to kill deer . Did that a couple years ago . Neither deer traveled more than twenty yards after the shot . All my buckshot is cast from an alloy of 50% clip on wheelweights and 50% pure lead . Harder seems to do better at further distance but I’m intrested in a max of about thirty yards .

That should stack evenly in layers of 2 right? According to my mic .417 is the max size roundball that would evenly stack in these Winchester hulls. I read that unevenly stacked buckshot gives bad patterns but havnt seen this tested? Hence why 000 is usually the largest loaded in the 12ga and 0000 being ideal for the 10 as it stacks evenly.

The new wheel weights are ZINK which is much lighter than lead and harder than woodpecker lips.
