I am looking for something that will reach out but also spread. Kind of a do-all load. I would need to reach out like triball but spread also like buck shot. I was thinking of taking a triball load and then subbing in buck where the bottom ball goes. Has anyone had any luck with something like a high-tech buck and ball load? Thanks

I've had awesome loads in 2 3/4" with 6 - 0000 (.375) pellets. Lot of energy in so few pellets. Maybe 9 in a 3 1/2" load would be a freight train. My experience has been mediocre with buck/ball loads. The 0000 was the answer, best of both worlds. YMMV

You will not beat the proverbial TRI-Ball. Ajay had a thread on buck and ball

Here's the thread from last year...I recall dropping the powder charge to 32 grns. Longshot
