16 gauge buckshot question

[geologist]

What buckshot size comes in a 5 pellet 16 gauge shotshell?

Thanks for any help.

All my 16 gauge factory buckshot is size "0". I do have some older 25 rounds per box of Federal #4 buck. WAIT: your post said "5 pellet"??? That would have to be at least 000 buck possibly larger. I'm thinking something like .40 calibre.

cheers Darryl

My guess would be 00 or more likely 000. Most modern manufacture buckshot in 16ga is #4. May I ask where you found it?

Security guards in Colombia. Single shot, pistol grip 16 ga.

Personally I wish I had my HP9-1 here.

1. open a shell with your pocket knife
2. remove a pellet
3. measure with calipers.
See, that was easy!

The ammo isn't mine.
