Wrenchman,
I definitely didn't take offense at your post. Just wanted to clear it up. Using the same mass/weight pellets in a 12 gauge and a 20 gauge at the same velocity, will give you the same amount of penetration. Each INDIVIDUAL pellet is carrying the same amount of energy, irregardless of whether it came out of a 10, 12, 16, 20, 28 or .410. Now, the larger gauges carry more power because they have more of these INDIVIDUAL pellets. So, everything being equal, a single pellet from a 10 gauge will penetrate just as far as a single pellet from a .410. This applies to buckshot and bird shot, from #00 to #12 shot.

Yep I will be the first to agree however that if you don't wait for the shot if you just bang away like every arse in the piney woods during openeing weekend you are going to wound alot of deer and sure not kill many with buckshot. But then again I have seen them wounded from all kinds of guns around here. daylight of opening day we leave the windows shut, and the blinds pulled and we huddle around behind the couch wearing flak jackets, steel pot helms, and praying we don't get hit in the crossfire.
