I do the same thing with my 12 ga. house gun, which is loaded with #1 buck all the way down to the second to last shell, which is 00 buck and the very last shell, which is a 12 ga. slug. I figure if my attacker hasn't gone down after all that, my hat's off to him! ;-)
BTW, what is it with #1 buck? Have they quit making it? I'm having a heck of a time finding it in any kind of decent quantity (say 500 shells). I'm guessing I'll be able to load it myself if I buy the equipment, no?

There's probably so much price pressure with online shopping that they can't afford to make and stock too many different options.
