This is my first post here and I have read this topic with great interest. I don't normally use buckshot when hunting, but the opportunity presented itself recently when my sons were invited on a youth hunt. They were asked to use shotguns and I looked until I found a shell by Dixie Slugs. It contains 3, .60 caliber, 325 grain hardened lead balls. It worked very well on a doe that my oldest son killed on the hunt. Here is a picture of the pattern that I shot while patterning my turkey gun recently. The load was shot on top of a turkey load, which accounts for the small holes. The target was about 40 yards away.




gblrklr:

Very interesting.

So...are you saying the total payload is 3 round balls totalling 975 grains?

Have you chronographed this load?

Daryl, have you ever tried such a load? It sure takes your .444 "concept load" one better. If such patterning is not a fluke, that is a heck of a load for shortrange smoothbores and deer...if the velocity of the load exceeds the speed a deer can run...

Makes me really curious if there is any advantage of such a load over a single round ball. Reminds me of the frustrations i had with a Beretta 424 SXS I used to own, that shot every slug into nice, tight but useless groups a foot low at 25 yards but patterned buckshot quite well. Maybe one of these "neither fish nor fowl" loads would take such a gun and make it a practical short range deer killer with better-than-buckshot performance.

gblrklr: Do you have any other patterns/groups shot with this load?

What is the wad column like?

Thanks for posting.
