This is the first deer I ever did in with buckshot . Used my maternal grandfathers old circa 1882 W&C Scott 10 gauge loaded with 00 and dumped him at 26 yards boom flop . This gun got me started in loading for the short 10 .



The second I dropped with a 10 gauge this is an LC SMith Quality 2 10 gauge circa 1890 . Used #1 buck and shot this deer at about 9 yards and as one might expect DRT !



Used my Ithaca NID Super 10 for this little buck . Shot him during a man drive , hit him with the first barrel at about 20 yards straight on with #3 buck the left barrel was loaded with 000 and I hit him behind the shoulder at about 10-15 yards . After the shot he ran maybe 40 yards and was dead when we got to him .



Couple seasons ago I got this pair with a circa 1884 Parker Grade 2 10 gauge loaded with 0 Buck in both barrels . That was also my first time shooting an actual moving pair with buckshot . Popped the button first and he went maybe 20 yards and dropped then shot the doe and she was DRT .



Shot this one last season at 13 yards with 000 using my circa 1889 Parker EH 10 gauge and this one was also DRT .



The more you read on this stuff the more you'll see folks saying the tighter chokes only work well with the smaller buckshot like 1 , 2 and 3 . Well I'm here to say that's not always the truth . My Ithaca is full and fuller yet , and that fuller yet barrel likes 000 . So it may take a bit of trial and error to find what you want .
