    Have any of you encountered or tried this buckshot? I have never heard of it prior to seeing it on the shelf at Wal-Mart. The price is what caught my eye. $11.97 for a box of 25. They are made in Spain by Tula. I fired a few just to feel the recoil, and they are definitely stout. The "low brass"...

    Another Survival Route video, this time we're testing some buckshot cartridges on cardboard, fired from 10 yards, to pattern them. We tried the Federal Vital Shok 00 Buckshot, Remington 00 Buckshot and Remington 000 Buckshot. Got wildly different patterns. Patterning your shotgun with a few...

The father uses a .340 Weatherby for elk and bear along with a .460 Weatherby Magnum as back-up. The MkV .460 REALLY packs a punch...

    Anyone else seen this? I though a few boxes might be cool to put up in case I have to hunt somewhere and I don't want to stop to pick up the shells. these are OD and the tips are black I believe. SG has them and other places. Not expensive either.

    I like to use my Remington 870 for home defense, who doesn't right? I have several questions with this. Should I use 00 buckshot, or 000 buckshot? I know 000 has more pellets but are smaller right? and the 00 has less pellets but bigger I am pretty sure. I don't need to worry about hitting...
