How far can you kill a deer with 12ga OO Buck? 50 yards? I dont shoot deer with buckshot. But with a real good pattern, I would make 40 yds. my limit

I have more money in buckshot chokes than in 2 shotguns. I have found that you can not beat the Kicks buckicker. Even with that I have experimented with various loads and have found a real good load for my 20" barrel that I carry on the Gator. My other guns seem to pattern buck shot better but I need the shorter barrel to swing into action faster from the floor mounted gun rack. I am loading 1 1/2 size swaged buckshot that I powder coat. I use 2 3/4' Fio for those loads with MG42 wads. I stack 12 of those 31 cal. pellets for a perfect stack. I have tried loads with more pellets but its not how many pellets in the hull. Its how many on target. My pattern board dont lie. I use them around the farm for bobcat, coons, coyotes etc. If I had not been so hard headed thinking that buckshot needed a more open choke, I would have saved a lot of time and money. My pattern board is at 45 yds and all are in 30" with 6-8 being in a 8" pie plate Buy a few Kicks Buckicker’s for a few of my shotguns and pattern them? Then I’m good to go?

Hunting you'll want a full choke defense open choke or improved cylinder at tightest. Course you just launched 9 pellets@1300 feet towards the problem which tends to solve that problem.

Killed plenty with a Rem 1100 12g modified 2 3/4 0buck. All 12 pellets were in a paper plate at 50yds, that pattern is why I used the 0buck. I have the same gun and for whatever reason it likes #1 buck.
Life is a journey. Make sure and bring plenty of Beer.
My luck has been so bad lately, it could be raining pussies and I'd catch one with a dick broke off in it.

Back in the 60s and early 70s I killed a 18 wheeler load of deer with buckshot. Lost a hit deer once in a while. Then one fateful weekend(1972ish) in Wilcox Co I hit and lost TWO damn big bucks. Both within 40 yards, both sparse blood trails. Haven't shot at a deer with buckshot since then. The stuff is just too imprecise for my tastes.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....
