I had (past tense) a Mossberg 835 that was mean with 3-1/2 inch load of 00. It has the backbored Barrel and I believe I shot factory full.
12-ga with buckshot is an awesome weapon for tracking wounded deer in the thick.

12-ga with buckshot is an awesome weapon for tracking wounded deer in the thick. I still have one, and that SOB can sling some lead! I swear it'll knock a 55gal drum over with turkey loads & the factory choke

I've never had a good pattern with a full especially with bigger buckshot. My advice is don't shoot buckshot if you don't have to I've never got a good buckshot pattern with anything except 5mm tss. If I absolutely had to use buckshot I'd do some experimenting with it. I went on a deer drive in Miller's Ferry in 1976 and there were at least 50 shots fired with buckshot. We recovered one doe. I lost a fine buck myself that I shot 4 times inside of 40 yds. He poured blood and we tracked him to the property line but never found him. I said that was it for me with buckshot and never used it again until I tried the tss a few years back. If you have to use it, do a lot of testing and then limit the range you shoot one. Good luck! i've killed truck loads with buck shot . i have found that 30" full chock barrels work best . short barrels and chock tubes just never worked out right for me

Reading this, it's obvious there are some real experts on buckshot and shotguns. Damn, Frankie. Triple and double. Helluva lot of difference in those two.
