megatronrules,
Like Andrew, patterned both my M1014/M4S90's today... As much as I like numbers 4 & 1 Buck, and 0 and 00, I and my weapons, like 000 Buck best... Yes, fewer and bigger pellets, with slightly more mass- perhaps enough to make a difference... At 25yards, my beauties shoot 4.5" patterns(
)... I'm happy at that distance... As to bouncing any sized buckshot around a cinderblock walled room?(
) Uh-uh, nope, nada, nyet, n-o-o-o-o, I don't like the idea much
cuss: )... However, like Erick, you've got to know where and what your backstops are... Just remember to do your best to put lead onto, into, and possibly, through your target... Accuracy just might reduce the need for more shots being fired...
evil: ) Try them all, and be objective- not swayed by anybody else... Each and every shotgun shoots differently, although both of my M1014/M4S90's shoot to the same POA.... Don't ask me, I don't know why! I'm just happy they do! (
)
Regards and Respects,
Carter, oldpaladin, out...
P.S. If you're using a pump gun, just about any type of ammo will do, as far as maganum, max, standard, or low recoil... Not so, with gas operated or some recoil operated semi-auto shotguns... Try them all, before you buy in bulk...
scrutiny: )
