I strongly recommend putting a box or two down-range, so that you will know:

1) that it functions in your shotgun
2) how it shoots (relative to point of aim)
3) felt recoil from that load.

"Buck and Ball" was a popular military and militia load in the early 1800s, still in use into the War Between the States.

Good advice, that.

Good advice, since I leave it for home defense in my bedroom I was planning on mentally thinking “slug” when/if I shoot it.

I guess since it doesn’t take a hot poker in the butt to get me to go shooting I will take your advice this weekend and see just how it does.
