Lessons
Learned:
1. The rifled barrel did indeed cause the buckshot to spread out much more than the smooth barrel.
2. We also saw the "donut" shape to the patterns that were rumored to happen.
3. If a person asks, "Can I use a rifled barrel to shoot buckshot?", the answer is, "Yes, but it will cause a very large increase in pattern size." And, past 12 yards, you would probably miss with more buckshot than you will hit with. And remember, you are responsible for every round of shot that goes down range.
4. It's fun to shoot stuff.
