I believe in a jam, you’re more likely to be able to land a couple of 00 balls in a spread than successfully hit a target in the dark with a rifle.

How far do you think 00 buck spreads 20 feet from the muzzle?

“How far do you think 00 buck spreads 20 feet from the muzzle? “

IIRC, I tested something similar: 14” barrel, birdshot, spread was about 1” for each yard distance. Under 7” spread at 20 ft may improve your chances of a hit, but isn’t the “can’t miss” too many people believe in.
