[QUOTE="emp1953, post: 2740186, member: 71817"] I own a 10ga side by side made by Richland in Spain. 32in barrels both barrels full choke. Obviously made for the goose/turkey hunter. I found it patterned #4 buckshot very well. So I reloaded with a Lee hand loader one shell at a time. Yes shells are expensive, are available on line and are usually available near goose hunting areas. I had it out during our shotgun buck season two years ago and got a buck at around 40 yards, from a tree stand. Need a stout rope to pull it up. Heavy too, maybe 11.5 lbs. It gets several ounces lighter after shooting both barrels. i Loaded the 3.5" shells with Blue Dot and 7 layers of 7 #4 buck pellets. 49 pellets. Nasty load on target. I shot a deer at about 60 yards, remember I patterned this load and it was great out to 60. When I got to the deer, it was no longer a buck, blew the antlers off, broke all 4 legs had 2 pellets through the heart, and the rest scattered throughout the deer [/QUOTE]
