00 or 000
« on: January 15, 2006, 03:21:30 PM »
Got a nice buck last weekend (no antlers?).   That was the good news.  
The bad news is that it took longer to go down than I would have liked.  Another hunter in our party advised to get 00 instead of 000.   I thought that if the stated velocity on a shell (12ga 3") is 1600 fps, the 000 will retain more energy, and drop more, while the 00 will slow quicker and have less drop.   Anbody have different thoughts?  This is the first deer I have taken with buckshot.   Any help would be appreciated.             Thanks,  Curly
