The Short answer is yes. Even in a 410 gauge shotgun with a full choke. Remember that a "410" is 41 caliber or .41 inches in diameter. oo buckshot is only about .32 inches in diameter.
The same is true for shooting slugs in a shotgun. There is no safety issue involved. You will notice that there is no warning on the packaging of the ammunition. In our litigious times you can be sure that if there was a problem there would be a warning printed on the box.

What is the best shot size for buckshot?
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.
How would you kill a zombie?
00 buckshot
Can you shoot 00 buckshot out a slug gun?
No.
Is there a single shot shotgun that you can shoot a deer slug and double 00 buckshot?
Slugs and shot are simply the contents of the packaged shotshells. Any shotshell can be filled with shot of various sizes, including 00 buck or with slugs and any shotgun (single shot; pump, double or automatic) that will chamber that shell can shoot those loadings. One caution is that slugs and buckshot should not be used in shotguns fitted with full chokes. Modified chokes and improved cylinders are probably OK, and full chokes can be used with birdshot (smaller pellets).
Can you shoot 00 buckshot in a Browning Silver Hunter 12 gauge?

How far can a 20 gauge shotgun shoot?

Can you shoot double 00 buckshot from an improved choke tube?
Yes, but check your pattern. Most shotguns will pattern buckshot best with a more open choke.
How far can buckshot travel?
Depends on the size of the buckshot, and the velocity as it leaves the gun. Larger buckshoot (00 or 000) will travel further than small (#4 Buckshot). A MAXIMUM range (not an maxiumum effective range) is around 880-900 yards.
What is the difference in buckshot?
Buckshot is the large round lead shot fired from a shotgun for hunting large animals, suck as deer (as in Bucks and Does- shot for bucks) The lead balls come in different sizes, denoted by a number. The smaller the number, the larger the shot. The largest standard buckshot is 000, triple ought, at about .35 caliber. 00 (double ought) is the most common, at about .32 caliber. There is 0,1,2,3, and #4 buckshot- about .25 caliber. Different shotguns will pattern some shot better than others. Larger, heavier shot has more range, and greater penetration.

What is the maximum range in yards of the M500 shotgun?
The maximum range for the Mossberg 500 is 55 yds for shot (the Navy uses 00 buckshot), and 328 yds for rifled slugs. However, the effective ranges are about 44 yds for both, though of course slugs will do a lot more damage. The Mossberg 500 is an outstanding shotgun, easily maintained and durable (much more so than the Remington 870, which requires repair much sooner with comparable use).
