kind of like the idea of the 00buck but i don't want too much wall penetration for the safety of other family members.
i've seen what hi-power #2 birdshot can do and that might not be so bad for the ones i don't want to hurt and still deadly for the bad guy.
so what's your thoughts? experiences?
here's what it's for:


and the bad guys worst nightmare:

Look for 00 or 000 buck shot in a tactical load. If your using a semi auto test the tactical loads as sometimes they will not cycle the shot gun.

an 870 is what they are for.
so 00= llike 9 pellets or something like that? and 000= over 20

Robar

I think the 000 buck will have 10 to 15 depending on who makes them.

I was thinking double or triple ot at first also. But at close range, like inside a house, #2 or #4 would be lethal as well and still may not go through walls into the next room like the buckshot would.
BTW...I was just in the gun store a couple days ago. There was a new Mossberg 12g pump w/ 18" barrel, for only $235. That would be a good, quick home defense weapon no doubt.

I suggested the tactical loads, because they are have less velocity than a regular load, this should decrease over penetration some.

I have 2 #2's, then some 00, and then slugs... All 3" in a Benelli M1Super90...

That's a nice shotgun. If you get tired of it send it my way and I will give it a good home.

You know it - I've got two...
