Anyone ever contemplated using a 16 gauge for defense?
I bout a few boxes each of Rem Slugger 4/5 oz. hprs and Federal PowerShok #1 buck (12pellets)
Just grabbed both on a whim honestly because I had never seen any before. Don't plan to use it for defense but curious if it came down to it, how does it perform? Mainly the buckshot. Seems like it would be just fine but I never hear people talking about 16 gauge buckshot and slugs. I realize it's not the most popular gauge...
I prefer #1 buck in 12 gauge when available over 00, is this the common size for 16 gauge buckshot?? Similar to #3 in 20 gauge?
