I myself shot a bull moose at 38 loong steps in the ribs with my double 12ga. shotgun with hi-brass #6 shot... He moved about 30 feet, lay down and died right there... When i skinned him out, his lungs were peppered with shot and blood...

Is someone here going to try to tell me that "if" i had been using #4 buckshot, those buckshot would have bounced off that moose??? Maybe that the buckshot would NOT have had enough penetration to kill that moose???

Give me a break!!! A deer at 40 yards hit in the kill zone (lungs/neck/head) with several #4 buckshot, is a dead deer every time!

The key to it working, is like i said before.... Make sure your shotgun patterns with the buckshot your using, and it will work at reasonable ranges on a deer...

Let me ask you this.... 00 buck measures .330"... How many of you would let a guy armed with .338 mag rifle, loaded with a lead round ball at 1,250 fps take a shot at you at 50 yards??? How about 5 guys all shooting at you at the same time at that range???

I believe there's 9 of those pellets in a 12ga. 2-3/4" shell!!!
