I'd try using deer slugs (or 1 oz ball) rather than buckshot. That will
give you one big ball/slug rather than many smaller balls. It does mean
that you will have to be more accurate though.
Otherwise, I'd suggest using #00 buckshot (aka double ought buck), which
has balls about 1/4 inch in diameter, IIRC.
I assume you want to kill these feral dogs; a good idea, since feral dogs
in packs are killers, and a danger to pets and children.
