10 gauge Punkin Balls

[6pt-Sika]

FWIW , from top to bottom . 1 small buck shot at 15-20 with handloaded 000000 buck from an PH 8 I used to own . 2 a spike shot at 12 yards with a .795” masking tape wrapped ball from a DH 8 . 3 a spike shot at about 20 yards with a .775” 730 grain hollow base slug also masking tape wrapped from the DH 8 . And finally #4 is a small buck shot at exactly 20 yards with the DH 8 shooting a circa 1930 Remington factory 8 gauge load of 0 buck again from the DH 8 . All four deer were on the ground within twenty yards of where they were shot the only one that hit the ground at the boom of the gun was the spike shot with the roundball , hit him behind the shoulder spun him around and dumped him right there . And that pretty much ends my “war” shall we say with deer using the 8 gauge .
