In the arklatex buckshot is still legal (Thats Arkansas, Texas, Lousiana for those at home) and it is still used alot. Two of the shops told me they won't carry 20 gauge buckshot because they can't keep it in stock it sells so fast so it makes their shelves look empty. . . . . What the heck? A product sells to well so you won't stock it? What is everybody following wal-marts lead? Sheesh. . . .
I have killed many MANY deer with 20 gauge buckshot and have NEVER had an issue with downrange energy. Every one I have ever shot dropped like I had hit it with a sledgehammer (or maybe a dozen or so ballpeens  )The only other thing I can figure is that it has to be because of the war, though I am dubious of that line of reasoning. And yes the first place I checked was the shops that sell to the officers I work with. The best they could do was point me to cheaperthandirt and midwayusa. GoodOlBoy
