00 Buckshot sounds cool, but Gun's and Ammo did a nice comparison study and found 0 or 1 shot gave the best combination of pellet number to penetration at usual combat ranges. 00 is designed for deer hunting and uses pellets that are .30 caliber. Nice size, but too few of them. Take a look at Remington 0 buckshot Tactical Loads. They are what many Law Enforcement officers carry in this area.

Better yet, buy a box of several different kinds and go blow the crap outta some gallon jugs of water. Very cool and gives you a chance to feel recoil and compare time to recovery between shot.

Stay safe, stay armed.

One of the coolest things about a good ole 12gauge is that you can get all kinds of special ammo for them, like those "bird bomb" things thats supposed to be like an M-80 that fires out of your shotgun. They also make Flachette rounds and rounds that explode on impact, ive also seen some type of flame thrower round. You can even buy those bean bag rounds now if your a little squeamish about actually killing someone that breaks into your home. I havent tried any of those exotic rounds but I would like to. If anyone has tried any of these please tell me about how they worked. They have alot of this stuff on www.gunbroker.com
