Their manual advises to never allow the coating to come into contact with insect repellant such as DEET, since it will melt the product. Obviously it is susceptible to other chemicals also.
The easiest way to visualize this is to assume that you fire 2 double barrel shotguns on your shoulder at the same time with one shell in each. Obviously you will get twice the recoil. Now place both shells in the same gun and your total gun weight is cut in half, so you double the recoil...
If the barrels go off at different times, you get twice the recoil. The laws of physics prove that if the barrels go off at the same time you get 4 times the recoil. No wonder it is not desired more than once!
Their 00 is actually smaller than 0 since it measures .315". The load is less than an ounce, low recoil, still has excess penetration, is not the best but will do the job.
#4 Buckshot has the FBI recommended optimum penetration of 15" at 10 yards provided that it is full sized (.24 and not .235) and it is loaded to a muzzle velocity of 1455 fps. Such a load is very rare, which is why the IWBA claimed that its use for self defense is marginal.
It obviously doesn't meet SAAMI standards which allow .015" + or - for buckshot. .315 is commonly used for 00 Buck but nothing smaller would be permitted by the voluntary SAAMI standards.
Light primer strikes on a single shot can also be caused by freezing weather binding the firing pin. This year's temperatures have seen a rash of this.
Remington Arms has an interesting article in their December, 2013 Ezine which is available on-line. The article on page 29 now admits that #1 or #4 Buckshot is "just about ideal" for home protection. It is not necessary to debate this issue, since it has already been beaten to a thousand...
Many turkey shoots ban "sleeved" guns which can have a gradual choke from the chamber to the muzzle. Some are so tight that they would like the pellets to exit one at a time. They do give the user quite an unfair advantage as compared to normal shotguns.
0000 Buck was designed for 10 gauge. It fits at 2 pellets per layer, provided you use no shotcup. It doesn't fit in 12 gauge no matter how you stack it.
I believe comment #21 may have been referring to #4 Buckshot. I also wonder why our last two vice presidents do not have a proper understanding of shotguns.
