The buckshot was fine, however, it was not as advertised. What was advertised was 20 Ga #00 Buckshot. It didn't appear to be #00 so I cut a round open. #00 buckshot is .33 inches. The average size of the Sterling buckshot was .292 inches. This falls between #2 buckshot .27 inches and #1 buckshot .30 inches. This is better than any other buckshot I have for the 20 gauge, but less than I expected. However, the interaction I had with Outdoor Limited was courteous and professional.
