10 gauge buckshot???

deerhunter17 · February 12, 2006, 02:45 PM

Hi, I was wondering what manafacters make buckshot for the 10 gauge in 3.5shells? So far I have only found 00 and #1 buck. Do they make anything else?

Thanks Ryan

Ten gauge buck shot, you must have some tough quail in your neck of the woods.

hey guys, I just bought a bps for coyote hunting.

I have a single shot 10 gauge and I had a quite a few doubles come in and only shot 1 of the yotes.

Its a 10 gauge, take pride in the fact you own the most effective man stopper. Load it whatever you want.

I shot two racoons and one yote (missed the other) at three different occasions in the last 2 years with my 10ga. 20" Aya SxS with #4 buckshot. I keep this gun close at hand in my TV room and when I heard disturbances in the chicken coop and deck , on went the flood lights and Ker BOOM!

The 54 #4 buck pellets nailed a yote digging under chicken fence at 100feet and the second barrel went after it's partner streaking away! The cylinder bores shoot about 30" + patterns at that range that are hard to get thru

The racoons were on my deck in two separate instances. One was a big 30 pounder. Now I KNOW bullets don't push things back BUT I sware the 10ga tossed these critters back 6-8 feet with a full blast of 54 #4 pellets at 30-40 feet!
