        2 3/4" 00 Federal Low Recoil for home defense and occasional target shooting at metal targets.

              I don't know if someone mentioned it yet, but I personally wouldn't use buckshot on deer unless I was very close or was unable to use a slug.

                    Slugs are for making very large holes in things. They are also good for blowing up 1 gallon water jugs, watermelons, and cantaloupes. The slugs have more range than buck or bird shot; usually they are good out to 150 yards.

                    (I think) Buckshot was originally intended for shooting deer in areas where the terrain is mostly level and you can't see very far. The idea is that the lead balls won't travel 2 miles and hit another person, or go through a house. Some States (or Counties within certain States) only allow hunting with buckshot. Buckshot also increases hit probability for people who can't hit what they are aiming at, especially if the target is moving (home defense). I never said I can hit what I am aiming at, so I also use buckshot.

                      Saltrock!

                      Absolutely devastating for hunting those garden variety Slugs ...and also Snails on the lawn at daybreak. Stops them dead in their tracks!

                      Now it has been mentioned.

                      POWG has made a joke ... and is out.

                          Flechette, rock salt, bean bag, etc are what I consider specialty loads. I was trying to give a good representation of what most ppl would use. I've loaded some specialty rounds like buck and ball, buck and slug, steel shot, tungsten shot, and a few other limited things. There is limited data for most of that and it is usually proprietary stuff. You need to be able to work within the limits of a very narrow pressure band. From about 6000 psi to around 11,500 psi on the higher end. I've even loaded birdshot and buck using buffer material and roll crimps. That is way too much info to include in a short post on a forum.
