[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3205134, member: 15054"] Ok so I was confused a bit on the wording "Buckshot" so I looked up shot sizes. #4 "Buckshot" is .240" diameter and what I thought #4 was #4 shot and some fool put Buck in front of the word Shot for some reason. Not the case as #4 shot size is .13" diameter do not confuse the terms I suppose. Shot size chart. [URL]https://www.hunter-ed.com/images/pdfs/ammo_shot_sizes.pdf[/URL] Now backbore or overbore to the shotgun could increase the pellet count in your group. I was surprised when testing loads that a larger choke actually made the steel shot group tighter and then I tested it on some lead loads in different guns I have and my shortest barrel actually grouped tightest. I have shot #4 turkey max load 3 1/2" 12 gauge load at 40 yards and it groups very tight lets a lot of light through a 55 gallon barrel.It was a light single shot shotgun, it brigs tears to your eyes. And when the water clears you look to see where that mule came from that kicked you. [/QUOTE]
