My thoughts on buckshot.

We used 00 buck for the most part with slugs occasionally but normal load was 25rds OO

I’ve seen 2 GSW’s with shotgun when working on the ambulance. 1 410 Judge buckshot point blank to the upper chest (SI attempt) he lived and after a ICU stay went on with his life

2nd was #6 pheasant to the stomach/chest area & it was bloody but zero real damage other than soft tissue

Wellll the third does not count, mutt shot at sheriff with a shotgun & sheriff killed him….

Everything I’ve seen has #1 buckshot is optional, pictures I’ve seen of birdshot and what I’ve seen shotgun instructors have to say about birdshot is it’s for the birds and does not have the mass to penetrate in a human

I’ve got a bunch of Federal low recoil flitecontrol 00 buck and some slugs……

If ya want to go down the rabbit hole
