[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2484099, member: 9299"] 12 gauge 3" magnum with copper plated, buffered [B]OOO[/B]-B with alternate loads of copper or plated "deep perpetrator" slugs. I have killed and witnessed game killed with proper chokes and buckshot loads that were well over 200# and beyond 50-75 yards. Pattern testing different loads can reveal much, but personally, cylinder or IC chokes with plated, buffered shot have given me the best patterns at longer ranges. Unlike smaller shot, tighter chokes tended to deform the large shot and increase spreads at distance. That said, I am not recommending one use those for said longer shots on dangerous game, and recommend avoidance first and the shotgun for up close defense as needed. YMMV [/QUOTE]
