Great thread and pics.
Good for you getting out there and actually putting your "loads" on paper!
I prefer 4Buck to 00B for many things. Once I killed two mule deer with 4B at @50 and @70yards.
4Buck is highly under-estimated.

Remington Supermag 3 1/2" chamber...
Hastings .640" choke (very tight choke for #4 Buck)
Remington yellow box 3" #4 Buck...
3 1/2" didn't pattern worth a crap thank God. Probably due to the choke constrictions. But I'm not complaining, recoil was horrible...
It puts down predators in a hurry and this pattern allows be to shoot them facing me up to 40'ish yards or so which is a big deal, especially night hunting...
