One of the places we hunt allows only shotgun but no single projectile for their limited firearm seasons. So slugs aren’t allowed. We have had really good success with 3” 4B buckshot out of a turkey choke. Patterns well and very effective out to 55-60 yds

Best of luck ..... History of 50 yrs hunting tells me you are getting lucky with pellet placement. Had a good buddy shoot a deer with #4 buckshot at around 37 yards.... Hit the deer with 3 pellets.... Two was close to the backbone paralyzing the deers back legs. One went through the breadbasket.... Drove 5 miles to my house and when we got back to the deer it was still alive and had crawled about 20 yards from the spot he shot it..... Look hunt with what y'all want to hunt with but nobody can dispute the shock and stopping power of 00 buckshot
