I do 90% of my hunting with buckshot. There is no one correct answer, you have to pattern your gun. If you want a good starting place, try Remington 3.5" 00 and a factory full choke. They are pretty stout, but most good buckshot loads will be. With 3" shells, I usually find my best patterns with 000 over 00, also through a full choke. Lead buckshot patterns fall off quick. You need a super tight 40 yard pattern just to make an ok 50-60 yard pattern. I usually consider my patterns good enough of I can get all or almost all of the pellets in a 12" pattern or so at 40 yards, and can normally find a load and choke combo that will give me that.
The last couple years I've been shooting TSS Ts. It has required a little more open choke but will give me 80 yard killing patterns pretty easily. It also hammers the deer like nothing I have ever seen. It's expensive, but not too bad if you load your own. Intriguing…. Running dogs? Yes sir. I save up time off at work and run them about 50 days a year.
