My range only allows slug or buckshot

[ViperR]

Hello again and thanks for all your help.
Both indoor ranges in my area only allows slug or buckshot for shotguns. I know I won't shoot slugs out of my Fox, but I'd like to try the lightest buckshot loads so I can enjoy my Fox Sterlingworth. Outdoor ranges are very far away.
What is the lightest 12 ga 2 3/4 buck that is factory made that will be safe in my 20's era Fox?
Thanks!!

Viper i knew a man years ago that deer hunted with a 16 Sterlingworth and fired slugs in it.I have no idea about buckshot loads. Bobby

Maybe you should look around for some trap and skeet ranges in your area. I find that the most fun with my Fox. There might be a IWLA chapter nearby.

Thanks or the replies. I decided to get a cheapie, but fairly good LEE loader and reload my own reduced power slugs & buckshot loads. Should be fun. Saw a bunch of you tube videos on the LEE and it looks fine for my limited "shooting per week" needs. I'll research reduced loads and go from there. Thanks for all the help.

Found a real nice reduced 'cowboy action' buckshot load that is 15 gr Accurate Nitro 100 fast burning powder, 6 pellets of #00 buck, 2 3/4 hulls with a Federal 12SO wad. The guy shoots this out of his 1920's era double barrel.
Set on the buck loads. I also saw a reduced slug load using a Lyman Sabot 525 slug with 24 gr Hodgdon Universal that fully crimps on the hull. I'll have to research this one further. The Universal is a medium burner and I believe it is needed for slug loads. I'm certain a medium burner is needed to get the extra mass and friction of the slug down the barrel.
Too bad the other range doesn't allow buck. I'll have to be careful with the deciding on the slug load. The buckshot I'm confident in.
