slug buck combo's have been around for some time, but nothing really mass produced. I have and always will stick by using HD turkey loads. Remington has a mix shot of called 2x4 and 4x6.. My M4 right now is loaded with 4x6 and the last two in the tube is hornady sst slugs incase they are putting some distance between us. Buckshot to me is more of a offense than a deffense load

i still think buck is overrated for SD in my book buck will always be an offensive load not a defensive. Some 2 3/4-3 inch duck loads like 4,2, or BB
