I like #1 better than 00 but around the house I keep my 870 loaded with #4 buckshot.

SDG23, if you get into casting, this is for you,

One type of 12 Gauge shotgun shell that has always impressed me is the "Buck and Ball" load.

This is one 60 caliber lead Ball loaded with 6 #1 Buck pellets. The little testing I have done with this load showed it to be favorable in clay, wet newspaper and wood.

I have never been permitted to carry this load when I was on duty (not sure I would want to) but I do keep my kitchen shotgun loaded with it!

Does anyone else have any experience with this loading?

Here is a bad ars version of buck and ball load

I have a number of #1 and #1.5 buck loads, depending on use.

One of my favorites low recoil SD load is Remington STS hull, SP12 wad, 12 - #1 Nickel plated Buckshot (4 rows of 3), W209 and 25.0gr of Unique. I get about 1240 fps outof my 18" barrel, a little less out of my 28" Beretta A400 Unico. In this style, International is a great powder as well.

For the big boy loads, I prefer Longshot and Pro-Reach.

Thanks, I don't load and shoot as much as I use to but I still
like to stay up on any new data.

I do have all the molds to cast most of listed loads that I posted.

I have learnt and am learning much on GT, not just on load
data but about people.
