Duplex shot loads have come and gone but I'm wondering what other's opinion is on these.
From my point of view, we hear lots about the effectiveness of multiple hits, incapacitation, penetration, pattern, etc. What I am speaking of in particular is military and self-defense use.
I've toyed with the idea that a load of, say, 6 pellets of 00 buck mixed with some #4 or smaller shot should give you the best of both worlds. Penetration from the buckshot and multiple hits from the smaller stuff. I'd like to see a load with the smaller shot loaded in front of the larger stuff so you get better dispersion with the 00 spreading the #4 apart.
Are there any other opinions on the matter. Am I missing the boat and everybody knows I'm wrong?
