Thanks for the responses so far. My main reason for asking is that I've been fooling around with handloading 00 Buck in a full choked Lefever. The regular 00 has been pretty erratic out to around 30 yards, but when I switched to 8 pellets of Copper washed 00 the grouping has been much better. My best load so far has been 6 of the 8 in a 5 inch group ( with 2 fliers ) at about 40 yards. I believe the velocity was in the 1200 fps range. I will be checking that load for penetration and may up the velocity a little if not satisfied. Frankly, I was very pleased with the grouping and will use this load if the penetration seems adequate.
