For HD in my 870 it's #1 buck. Second choice is #00 buck.
That's what I'm hoping as well.Federal did come out with a FLITECONTROL® in #1 Buck now -
Maybe that will make #1 Buck easier to get in places where it's currently hard to find.
Moyer said:Heck, 6 ft is probably farther than any defensive shot would be in my tiny apartment. Now, at that distance, I don't think there is a commonly sold 12ga round that would not drop a man with a center mass shot.
You'd think that and yet there is a fairly decent list of people who have survived a shotgun blast in the torso and even head at that range and survived. In pretty much every one of those stories, the shotgun was loaded with birdshot.
Moyer said:I appreciate the info, but NONE of those stories prove your point.
Really? Which one of those do you think would have survived the same shot with buckshot?
A very small percentage of people continue to insist that bird shot is adequate for defense. Although they have no evidence to support their claims.
