I normally post in the semi-auto handguns section, but here's the question…
My land is infested by wild boars and we have now the right to shoot them 365 days / year and 24 hrs / day > good new !
Till now, I was using slugs but I'm not a very good shooter with my Mosberg 500 and at the first shot > they all escape ! As they become more and more familiar, I plan to use buckshots at 30~40 yards > faster to point and a better chance for a hit, also more following shots. If not dead, last shot with my Sig 9 mm.
I think the classification of buckshots is not the same here in Europe than in the US.
- What would you use… 9 or 12 pellets ?
- Is magnum cartridge a définitive advantage ?
Thank's for answers
