Default Need downrange balistics for buckshot

Folks, I'm trying to hunt up some info on velocity and energy retained by buckshot at various ranges. I'm not concerned so much with usable range as I am with stray shots ability to do unintended damage to life and property. Any help appreciated.

Thanks , That tells me what I want to know. Amazing that at 400 yds, a single piece of buckshot can still do some damage.
