i have killed deer with 00 buck in the 8 ga..but the old 8 s barrels have been cut off so no choke it will scatter the buckshot to much past 40 yards for a clean kill.. i know of a doe that was killed at 115 steps with a 12 ga single barrel useing 00 buck only one pellet hit the deer.the buckshot hit the deer rite in the ear it dropped in its track.so i believe the buckshot would have enough energy if the deer was hit in the vitals...young deer are fairly easy to kill but the big does and bucks can take a lot of hits and still get away.. i hope i can get the old 8 to shoot out to 50 yards but i know i ve got a lot of practiceing to do.. think i ll go load up a few rounds and try the 35 step target... charlie
