<p>[QUOTE="Hobo, post: 1068054, member: 11521"]Birdshot is not buckshot. Birdshot is tiny; buckshot is large (the size of ball bearings). The last time I bought buckshot it was lead. Lead deforms when it hits a body. That deformation imparts energy into the body. And the deformed projectile sees more drag as it passes through the body imparting even more energy into the body. That is what is known as 'knockdown' power. Steel projectiles, on the other hand, do not deform much and may pass cleanly through the body without much knockdown power.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
