If you like buckshot, then you're gonna love the Tri-Ball II from Dixie Slugs. This is the biggest most penetrating buckshot load ever stuffed in a three inch 12 bore hull.

A few days ago I had the chance to run some of the 3 ball (.60 caliber hard cast, 315 grain) loads through my 870 Express with a 26" barrel. Using a Briley extended 00Buck Full choke tube with a.694 exit diameter, three consecutive shots at a measured 40 yards put all 9 of the .60 caliber balls into a 6.5 inch pattern! Better yet the pattern centered just 2 inches above the point of hold using just the bead and vent rib for sights!

This load ought to slap down any buck or hog running in the thick stuff. For the LE types this should be the best roadblock load you could use in your 12bore. This has got to be the biggest most penetrating buckshot load ever stuffed in a three inch 12 bore hull.
