Honey Badger .300 Blackout, Trash Panda can, Sub-Sonic Copper rounds that open quick with nasty copper blades. Quiet, lots of ammo, fast and light, blinding flashlight, zero recoil. Train 3 to the torso, then head shots. There's only going to be one side to the story.

I’ve got a naval cannon lined up down the hallway stuffed full of forks and knives.
Regardless, I think this thread has pretty well settled that 30-06 is, in fact, obsolete…

Not for home defense it isn’t
I have an airsoft ar15 that shoots 650fps and stings like all get out. Can anyone validate my choice for home defense?
6.8spc suppressed is what I use. Nothing better but I just a shotgun is a much better choice.
12 ga and I have no idea why people keep recommending #00 buck shot...your ain't hunting deer and this load gives you 9 each large (about .38 cal) pellets.
Personally, I'd go with BB's....even #2's.

Good plan.
Though if there is more than one, nothing says "GTFO" like a Vickers!
Everyone keeps talking about "over penetration" like it's a bad thing. I have the only bedroom downstairs. If you kick in my front door, I'm sending them through 3 walls into your guts. You won't even know where it's coming from when you and the crew start leaking all over the dining room. I'm sending solids right through the drywall and Framing..
Pick a gun you can handle while your ears are ringing like crazy. If you were awakened by intruders in the middle of the night, it is likely that you did not have time to put in ear protection. And sound will bounce from everywhere, too.
For the most part, rifles aside, my EDC is the handiest home defense weapon. 4.25 inch barrel, 17 rd mag of 9 mm. I keep one in the pipe, so that is 16 in the mag.
It is always within reach or on my person. As well as two more loaded 17 rd mags.
But there is nothing wrong witih shotties, either. I get the advantage of using shot, creating a number of holes. I also like my slugs. They huge and gaping holes that simply do not close back up. Get a crook in the femoral artery with one of those and an ambulance is not needed but a coroner wagon will be needed.
