I think the statistical average is usually bad breath to 7'. But...you don't know till you get there. It's not like birdshot is going to do better than #1, or OO under 10'.
Why not spend the extra $5 and load your HD gun with what works best? I'm not trying to scare anyone off in a home invasion. They've already decided they're willing to murder to get what they want, so I'm shooting to STOP them, not wound them or drive them away.
 
Birdshot. Notice the picture of the bird.

You are standing in front of a major league baseball pitcher. He is really, really mad at you. You have a choice of him throwing, as hard as he can, at your chest, one of the following:

1 .. A handful of sand
2 .. A handful of 1/2" rocks
3 .. A handful of 1" rocks
4 .. A 2" rock

Your choice.

Thank you,
MrSmith

I'd rather not have to kill anyone. Not saying I won't if I have to but I'd prefer not to.

Cost of my reloaded rounds is the furthest thing from my mind when I stuff them into my shotgun

I once heard of them (generally) described as a couple of tubesocks, one third full of pea gravel. Seems accurate......

Nice tat, I'm sure it brings 'em in like flies to honey.:eek:

Ok guys lets settle this. The reason you don't want to use 00 buck in your home defense is not because of killing power. It is because it has been proven that any shot larger than #6 will travel thru multiple walls before it stops. That means your family in another room would get hit. Therefore use 2 3/4" 4-6 shot and you have a good chance of killing an intruder and keeping your family safe.

The reason cops are issued 00 buck is so they can use it to stop cars. People also get shot, but only in cases where you actually expect to have to shoot someone. Most gunshots fired by police are with their service pistol not their issued shotgun.

And now back to our regularly scheduled program!
