5:all the above.🤔
Do you mean 8-pellet buckshot loads? #8 shot is birdshot, and pretty small birdshot at that.
I sold my Dillon 550B years ago when Obamination hit. Like you, I kept all my dies, still have primers, powder, some brass. I also have my bullet dies for casting led. As long as I have powder and primers I’m good to go. Like you, I have my RCBS Rock chucker -from around 1978.
I got into shotgun shells too. I found that 68 caliber balls, super easy to cast, drop right into a shot cup easy peasy.
Sounds like a good time.
Let’s do this.
Decades ago I bought a Mossberg 500/3” chamber, 20” barrel. Came with a barrel shroud and a PISTOL GRIP! Took off the stock, put on the PISTOL GRIP, bought some 3” 00BUCK, and headed off to the range. Put 4 in the magazine tube, cranked one into the chamber, took a breath, braced, squeezed off. POW!!! WORST recoil experience I ever had in my life! EVER!!!.
Well, I knew it was just me. Caught the whole recoil in the web of my hand! I just wasn’t ready for it. Recovered. Shook it off. Cranked another into the chamber, put my left hand on top of the barrel shroud, thumb toward me, to hold it down during recoil, took a breath, braced myself for a running block from MONGO, and slowly squeezed the trigger.
IT WASN’T JUST ME!!! I NEVER TOOK A THIRD SHOT! TOOK THE PISTOL GRIP OFF, PUT THE BUTT STOCK BACK ON, GAVE THE PISTOL GRIP AND THE 3” SHELLS TO A FRIEND, WHO TRIED THEM, AND GAVE THEM TO A FRIEND WHO TRIED THEM WHO GAVE THEM TO A FRIEND...
WENT BACK TO 2 3/4” SHELLS AND NEVER LOOKED BACK. SAVING MYSELF FROM A CHARGING GRIZZLY ISN’T WORTH THE RECOIL OF A 3” 00BUCK!...GOOD LUCK

2 3/4 $2 buckshot or 2 & 4 buckshot. Learn to ‘skip shoot’ (bounce shot off pavement to take down the ‘100 deep’ fools if they ever get within ten to twenty yards of you. My Mosin will take out the first three levels with every shot.
Some country woman posted awhile back something like ‘come on out antifa - our boys will sit in a tree for 8 hours waiting for something to kill while hunting, you have no chance’. Caused me to chuckle.
I always find it weird to see him in other roles. It’s almost like when I see Tim Curry or, now, Jeff Bridges. They owned their icon roles.
I was waiting for someone to post that.
Wild or farm, hogs will devour anything.
Yeah
But I meant to reference both
If these soy boys end up on my property we won’t bury them. Lots of pigs and coyotes around to clean up the mess.
They’re worth it.

I have that Knoxx stock also, on a 500.
It has the pistol grip too...
Cool - sounds like I need it
