Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting How effective is buckshot?

I have used 0 buckshot. There are 10 pellets in the shell. a 12 gauge 3 inch magnum. You have to pattern the shot. I have used an adjustable choke to pattern out to 100 yards. but use have to pattern your shotgun no matter what shot you are using to see what you can hit or maximum range. Be careful tightening the choke towards full. Too tight may blow your barrel with an adjusted choke.
