Been having trouble finding the 3" Remington 000 buckshot I love to shoot in my 870 Tactical, so I've been thinking of dropping back to the 2.75" Remington 000 buckshot.
My question for y'all is.............
Would you feel under powered in a defensive exchange, at 12 to 15 yards* by dropping back to the 2.75" 000 buckshot load...vs. the 3" 000 buckshot load?
The 870 is my travel/camping shotgun, and I take an undisclosed amount of spare shells with me.
*My personal belief is after 15yds, it's handgun(1911, Glock, or AR pistol) time.*
