means that many people can be hit with each shot, at 10 yds.

#4 is not that much different than 00 and so it is called "buck shot" rather than "bird shot".

Shot spreads about 1 inch per yard.

So at 10 yards it would spread to 10 inches.

20 to 20 inches.

30 to 30 inches.

Those are the typical patters.

That's why you/we don't need to aim as well with one.

00 buckshot = 9 pellets,
#4 = 24 pellets

Both have the same amount of lead by weight.

Depends on the barrel.

At thirty foot you're only going to hit one person.

I like the idea of Dragon's Breath loads. The people you don't hit are still running.



I have a pump gun, so the cycling problem in the video doesn't worry me.
