Great info Buckshot.
Those loads sound like rippers!
Killed a buck with the 00 load last year that was pushing 70 yards. I shot him 3 times. From the back of his ribs to his nose he had close to 20 pellets in him.
I'm not sure of the longest shot I have taken with mine, but I'd bet it was nearly 70. I shot one buck after he slipped through a stander who had already been shot. He was scooting out across the green field and the hounds had not caught up yet, so I gave him a couple shots from the rear. He ended up croaking just inside the woodline. Hard tellin who actually killed him, but we did find some copper plated pellets in him when we skinned him that had broken bones.
I still think it's amazing the power the stuff has when it is shot from a well patterning gun.
