RE: old blackpowder guns

Thanks for the clarification on "buck & ball." I had surmised as much, but had never tried it in muzzleloaders.
I was not impressed with the modern 12-ga. buck & ball loads fired in a typical pump action riot shotgun.

Best overall results with US Foster-type slugs and modern buffered buckshot loads are obtained with improved cylinder.

The standard 9-pellet load of 00 buckshot is quite effective against personnel to 50 yards in modern guns and loads.

The 27-pellet load of #4 buckshot is recommended for interior guard when risk of over-penetration must be avoided, but it is not effective against automobile tyres, doors, or glass.

Shotgun slugs are effective against automobiles to 50 yards and against personnel to well over 100 yards. Expert shots can achieve 50% hits on silhouette targets with slugs at 200 yards.
