If it is #2 shot, it will say it on the box, and I have no idea if they sell it at your Wal-Mart because I am lucky to find a box of target loads at my Wal-Mart, but Petey's Wal-Mart in the middle of PA has a ton of hunting stuff. Each Wal-Mart if different in this regard.

If you are really worried about pelt damage, just shoot them in the head with a .22-250 or .220 Swift. A .222 would probably even work for a head shot. You can probably pick up some previously owned rifles in those calibers pretty cheap and they are a lot more accurate than a shotgun at 100 yards. I know I love my .220 Swift.

Now, the more important question, who buys these pelts and why do they buy them?
