I use the #1 exclusively in the 16's and it works very nicely in the old LC Smith I started this thread about !

I have taken to stocking buckshot in 000 , 00 , 0 , 1 and 3 on my shelf . could probably do away with the 00 but I have over 10 pounds of it so I'll keep using it atleast until I use all that .

I had thoughts a couple months ago of getting molds and casting my own buckshot . But thats an awful lot of work .

I have a handfull of old factory 10 gauge 2 7/8" that are 0 Buck . As well as a couple that I think are #3 .

Inside 25 yards do not think bad of #3 Buck in a 10 gauge .

I shot 0 Buck handloads in several 12 gauge guns today !

Parker VH , Parker VHE , LC Smith Ideal , LC Smith Field with sleaved Westley Richards barrels , Utica Fox Sterlingworth and an Ithaca NID . All did well enough at 25 yards for a deer !

Tried some handloaded #3 buck loads in the little Philadelphia Fox Sterlingworth 20 gauge . This ones choked IC/M and I was surprised when the patterns in both barrels were not that great !

Shot several patterns with the circa 1940 H&R Bay State single barrel and handloaded #1 buck . This thing will flat out drill a deer at 25 yards .

Got number 17 at 16:05 today !

Shot him with my Savage 10ML-II 50 cal muzzle loader at about 67 yards !

I hunted relatively hard for the last week . Only saw 6 deer the entire time .

I'll hunt everyday next week with the ML except saturday which is the beginning of gun season here .

Got number 18 today !

Popped the cherry on my Remington 700 BDL 6.5-06 this afternoon !

Had a 3 point whitetail come up to about 36 yards of me and of course the 6.5-06 shooting the Berger 130 VLD Hunting bullet pushed with 53 grains of RL-22 did a fine job . The deer ran maybe 25 yards after the shot and when I opened him up the heart for lack of a better word was EXPLODED !
