"This ain't your grandaddy's buckshot load!" (self quote) Tri-Ball 3" 12 Gauge Buckshot by Dixie Slugs Co. One shot, three .60 caliber holes to point of aim at 40 yards with a vent rib and a bead sight.

Ralph, I have used the Fed premium buckshot and thought that I had the right ones however I had 00 and my gun shoots 000 best I'm not even sure where I got those 00 they may have been in a pile of misc. ammo that was given to me some time back and I must have had a brain f**t and thought it was what I'd been using. I didn't hunt last year and I'm half kdubs age so you know I'm REALLY old and suffering from CRS. Thanks...

here is a shot of what I have is it the same?, By The way I called Emma yesterday she gave me some pricing and I will follow up , I just don't want to buy things I already have, Thanks for your help!

Well, we do use dogs for Bear in WI. I have seen some of that country down south and it is pretty wild and swampy in places so I guess it makes sense.

I get my sabots from gun servicing in Bordentown NJ. The best way to get the sabots and gas seals is to call Emma at 608-261-7373 after 5 PM on a work day. She will send you all the info you need to load some great loads. I use chedite hulls that I buy already primed, 28 grains of Blue Dot powder,CCS gas seal, hard cards for the wad column and a CCS sabot holding a Hornady XTP 45 cal pistol bullet.

Well i guess you just didnt get the required penetration, i would recomend some slugs for deer hunting. or just take head shots with the buck shot. Sorry bout your experience.

I'd stick with the Dixie Tri-Ball.

In WI you would loose your hunting licence for a long time doing that stuff. Of course I hear in Texas you can even shoot from a vehicle. In many areas of the south, that's the traditional way it's done, and for good reason. In some areas of the Lowcountry of my state you'll rarely see a...

4bore work. Working on design of firing pin, and waiting for parts now. Problem is getting real small parts without CNC for bushed firing pin with rebound spring. But it takes time. We will have swaged lead slugs in a little while as my barrel is smooth. They will be 1600gr hollowbase, when done, a hundred of them at least. Got wads and cards, shown in the picture with 4bore cases and slugs. And my 2bore case for comparison Also 12ga wads for...

i ran some gold magnums thru my shotgun today and was very happy. i got about 2 inch groups with a 24 inch rifled ported barrel with cantilever scope mount. question is has anyone ever killed deer or bigger game with either the gold or black magic brenneke slugs. i like to mix it up and use odd ball calibers on game such as .458 lott or .375 rum on deer and shotgun slugs for moose. just like to be different and keep life interesting. let me know.
