Buckshot
Small deer. Close-range deer. Deer in dense brush. What do these deer share in common? They’re all perfect recipients of #4 buckshot!
This shell is loaded with the smallest buckshot: 0.24” diameter, as opposed to 0.33” like 00 buck. One pellet of #4 buck weighs only ~38% as much as a piece of double-aught, which is why it generally doesn’t penetrate its target as deeply. That’s great if you’re trying to minimize meat damage. The shot’s smaller size is also why a 2-3/4” shell comfortably contains around three times more #4 buck pellets than it would double-aught. If you want a thick pattern that isn’t so easily deterred by intercepting vegetation, then you’re eyeballing the right ammo!
Pellet deformation is anathema to tight patterning. That’s certainly not news to Winchester, as evidenced by their addition of granulated polymer buffering to this ammo. It absorbs recoil that might otherwise have dimpled or flattened the pellets, thus assuring it streaks out of the barrel as orbicular and aerodynamic as they can be.
