For home defense I do agree the 20 gauge is superior. My HD shotgun is a Winchester Model 12 pump (capacity 6) in 16 gauge. The 16 gauge buckshot round is 12 balls of #1 Buck (.30 caliber). A 2 3/4” 12 gauge 00 buckshot round is 9 balls of .33 caliber. I think the 16 is superior, you just better be stocked up in advance.
