I thought I would split this off from the 1301 thread, and it has the possibility for interesting conversation.
I started down the traditional shotgun path -- classes with the "masters" then, Awerbuck, Jeans, Cain, C Smith plus others. Did a lot of patterning of different buck through different barrels.
With the right barrel, and the right load, at the right distance, buckshot is near magical. At the wrong distance, with the wrong barrel and wrong buckshot load, is is really bad. That got me to slugs, where I am now.
Discuss?
