Those Buckhammers shoot amazing like you mentioned in my rifled choke tubed 11/87 and man did they flatten deer.
The 12 gauge kills at both ends. Much nicer through an auto than my pump. I bought a bunch of 20 gauge when they discontinued them.
They were even fairly brutal in that old heavy 11-87 as well, but I endeared them enough to check zero and hunt. Even the old Remington 2 3/4 Mag Rifled Slugs shot plenty good too. The Buckhammers just seemed to make a nice even 1" hole through stuff. The blood trails were excellent!
