ok wht do you guys think that the best shot gun load for home defence is? do you tink that #4 is good? i want somthing that will not go threw walls or anything like that. thanks for the input guys
Will home owners insurence cover or pay, to clean up the bloody mess the buckshot will cause ?
I'm haveing 2nd. thoughts about useing a shotgun for home protection, geeez you'll
have human meat stuck to the walls and maybe internell body parts floopp'in around on your carpet !!!! Brain splatt on the curtains !!! I don't want to see that Chit !!!~!
I'm gonna use my handgun ! ...A.H

To each his own, but in a life or death situation, I'm not even going to be concerned about the mess. I'd rather my family and myself are all alive, then we'll worry about the mess!
Also consider that its completely possible that a home invader could be wearing body armor or a bullet proof vest that will defeat a handgun bullet. But, a face full of buckshot and he's going down...
. . . stack the first shot triple-ought buckshot followed by a slug
the keep up the progression. If a double barrel load one slug and
one buckshot. If a single shot use buckshot.
have a shotgun and a .22 with bird shot in it on hand so if they are not armed shoot them with the birdshot but if they are use the shotgun (that is of course if you can see them but you usualy can't)

If you have a pump or auto shotgun . . .

I hope your neighbors are far enough away that you dont shoot one of them when those loads pass through the wall.

I agree. My tube is loaded with #4, with 00 and slugs in the side saddle. The tests I have read about show #4 penetrating 7 layers of 1/2 Sheetrock, and 00 12 layers. I have a brick house, so I feel relatively safe about a stray round hitting my neighbors.

My 870 has got #4 buck in it. I figure that is large enough shot he's going down and enough in there I'm a lot more likely to hit compared with double aught.

Thanks for the Video backup ClayMan. I use my Mossberg 500 for home defense,the plug is out and the first round in is 00, the second round in is 00 and the third round is a slug along with the forth one in as a slug with a repeat in order of slugs to fill her up. That is for more than one attempting to enter my home. I don't know if thats the best order but it made sense to me.
