Please forgive my ignorance but I don't know much about anything that is not steel shot for being a Waterfowler.

My 1st question is that when I read 4 Buck is that just #4 lead shot like what you'd use on Pheasants or something else?
& if so what is a rough guess of pellot count in a 3 1/2" round

2nd- When I switched from steelshot to Hevishot for Geese I went a whole size down decause the Hevishot was so much more dense than lead at longer ranges - as Yote hunters should this trend also be made ?
 
Basicly shot size no matter the material go 9,8,7.5,6,5,4,3,2,1,B,BB,BBB,T,TT,F,4buck,3buck,2buck,1buck,Obuck,OObuck,OOObuck.

In short, 4 shot is not #4 Buck.
