Sometimes I get a little wild and load a 000buck just for fun

I like the 000 but my gun shoots the 00 better

I am of the opinion that damn near anything living on this planet cannot sustain a point blank shot from a 12 GA shotgun.


I saw someone get shot point blank in the stomach with either a #6 or #7.5 load. They lived but their guts were hanging out. They definitely werent a threat anymore after the shot.

Head/neck area is the point of aim. Always double tap!

I hate to say it, but the days of simply shooting someone for breaking into your house are close to being over, IMO.
Well you're dead wrong on that one.

Federal personal defense #4 buckshot in 2.75" has 34 pellets. Unless I'm defending the home of J Peterman, I'll take quantity over quality inside 20'.

You can just buy a box of whatever HD shells you want and shoot other shite with it when you want to play around

I have the winchester slug buckshot for HD.

I'm a huge fan of 1 buck. A major huge fan. It's the ideal defense buckshot IMO. You'll only be getting a 3-5" pattern at the most in a house no matter what you use.

Let me break it down for you guys. Guy holding 9 sideways throwing bullets at you 15 rounds down range in your direction. Extended mag shotgun sends 240 projectiles in opposite direction.
