Buck Shot Recommendations

What's the best buckshot brand/load for bigger game. Deer, Boar etc at close range. (Say 30-40 yards.)
Thanks

If you can find it out there, they make a copper solid buckshot that is devestating. I don't know what brand makes it, but I know a few guys who get there hands on it every once in a while and they swear by it. It drops hogs in there tracks.

I've always done very well with Winchester Double X. The 00 will drop just about anything like a sack of potatoes. I can't speak for the 000 as I've never tried it but I'm sure it will work just fine too.
