A buckshot is a large size shell that is carefully packed into shotguns. They are mainly used for hunting large game such as deer and moose. A buckshot can easily be fired without a shotgun if there was an explosion.

Buckshot is a large lead shot for shotgun shells (especially used in hunting big game).
Depends on the BA, distance, type of buckshot, load velocity.
It will depend on what you are hunting and which brand of shell your shotgun patterns best.
You can, but, it will not be a good thing.
About 1" past the muzzle.
The Turkish Khan Centurion Shotgun is not designed to eject fired shells, but only extract them. The Turks are a thrifty people and many reload their own shotsells. I have lived among the Turks and gone hunting with them, in particular Wild Boar hunting. The Turkish country people hunt the Wild Boar with their own reloads of buckshot, because the Turkish Government frowns on the sale of buckshot shells or rifle cartridges. The people melt down bird shot and cast buckshot, which they reload. They would not think of eating a pig, ( domuz in Turkish ) but hunt them because of crop damage. A shotgun which ejects and throws the fired hulls all over the place is considered undesirable by the Turks. --- Joe Boyd ---
In states that do not allow the use of a high-power rifle to hunt deer, you may be able to use a shotgun loaded with buckshot or slugs.
Depends on the use, and how YOUR shotgun patterns. For deer (some areas do not allow slugs or rifles, so buckshot it is) I am partial to 00 Buckshot. Larger pellets retain more energy, give better penetration.
Yes chokes are designed to tighten shot patterns.
Shotgun with buckshot, 30 caliber rifle, etc.
