I bought slugs and shot shells for the shotgun that is too heavy for me, before ammo disappeared and at the same time got hollow point cartridges for the too heavy rifle. Also got lots of 38 hollow points for handguns. All that before the rush.

Then, I bought a 22 rifle close to a month ago and it still isn't here. Bought 3 boxes of Remington hollow points for it around the same time and that ammo isn't here, either. The 22 rifle was in stock but there was a notice they were shipping so much as orders came in, the shipping would be delayed. I think the rifle will eventually get here and the ammo is from Cabela’s so I think it will come some time.

At close range, i.e. across the room, a too-heavy shotgun or too-heavy rifle can be "shot from the hip", much like sinking a cue-ball into a corner pocket. That will save your shoulder, and will make follow-up shots much easier.

A corner pocket is about 4.5 inches. The center mass kill zone on a man-size target is at least a 10" or 12" dinner-plate wide. Even if you miss the heart/lungs, getting gut-shot with 12-guage buck-shot or slug might not kill immediately, but I suspect the attacker's priorities will shift substantially.
