Longshot no longer allows buckshot except...

...for the buckshot that you have to buy from them.

I've been to Longshot twice and never had an issue using Remington and Rio  double-aught low recoil buckshot.  Today I noticed that the website limits shotguns to slugs only and when I called was told that they had changed the range rules.  You can still use your own slugs but if you want to shoot buckshot you have to buy it from them and they only approve Winchester Ranger buckshot.  I also asked if you could simply bring in the "approved ammo" from outside and could not get a straight answer.

Not really.  Slugs tend to want to keep on penetrating.  Buckshot will tend to ricochet.  Less likely with pure lead.  More likely with hardened lead
