Is Buckshot Lethal At 50 Yards?


    I am sure many dead deer would argue that yes buckshot is lethal at 50 yards. If you need proof, Brass Fetcher tested buckshot against ballistic gelatin at 50 yards and then managed to chronograph it at 50 yards (no small feat).

    Thanks to Jim for the link.
