the more I learn and try and test and such the more I end up finding that my grandfather was right.
12 ga 2 3/4 #4 high brass full choke , aim true , just plane works.
it was what he ran on fox and wild dogs at the farm, anything that else that needed putting down
there may be better things , and slugs have their place but for general purpose you can carry one box of shells in the truck with the one shotgun and do the most with it.
it makes for a very effective on most anything inside 25 yards and some things out to about 50.
I have never tried it because it is illegal but , I think you could take a deer with it at 20-25 yards if you shot it in the neck
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
