Please Recommend An LG (000 Buckshot) Load For Follow Up Work

[Professor Mawla]

Sir, if you would consider SG rather than LG shot you could look at:

Gamebore Buffalo and Lyalvale Supergame


I use this, works!

@Scrumbag
It is a really small world . As a matter of fact , I recently acquired a box of Lyalvale Express Supergame 2 3/4 inch AAA shells and I used them quite successfully to hunt half a dozen greylag geese .

SG would be perfectly suitable for barking deer , Axis deer and ( perhaps ) even wild boar . However , when I need to employ a shotgun against the creatures pictured below ; I find that the .36 calibre diameter of LG slugs are quite difficult to surpass .

I would not choose Remington...I find their 00 to be very soft.

Generally speaking, if you are going to use buckshot, it pays to use copper plated loads. Also, if you desire to hit the animal at fairly close range, consider #1 buck or even #4 buck. Many more pellets. Less holes in the pattern and will pattern well out of just about any constriction. If you desire to stop the animal in it's tracks, you will need much testing with various loads and chokes till you find what you think will serve your needs. Double 0 or triple O will be what your looking for.
