Mine, Remington Express #1 buck with four more plus two Brenneke slugs in the sidesaddle. Wife's, pre-Alliant buyout Estate low recoil 00 buck and Remington reduced recoil slugs. Guns are 870 12 ga. choked IC.
Two rifled slugs followd by 00 buck. 3 of 00 buck and 2 more slugs in the buttcuff. AT HD ranges, I don't figure on missing, but I want to be ready in case I've got a situation where the shotgun needs to act like a rifle.
Inspired by the Box of Truth, I went out shooting yesterday and tested some ammo. I used #7 bird shot and 00 Buck. I set up a couple of telephone books against some stakes and walked back ten paces.
The 00 Buck blew right through the telephone books. The #7 shot went about half way through. In boths cases, the wads took out a big chunk of the telephone books. This was from an 12 guage, 18.5 inch cylinder bore barrel.
After my test, I would use the bird shot. It should be lethal at home defense ranges, but not as dangerous to the neighbors. I would go bird shot all the way.
Mauserguy,
PS: At ten paces the pattern opens up to about 24 inches. Eouza...
I keep 4 000 2 3/4" buck and one last loaded first up Brenneke Original slug in 7 shot 870's and 1100's. 2 #6 bird shot and 3 more Brenneke's slugs in side saddles (different color for bird shot!).Just what has worked for me! In 20 guage guns I like same 3 #2 or #3 buck shot and one Winchestern super slug in their 5 round tube.With 3 #8 bird shot and 2 slugs on butt cuff. The Idea is to load the bird shot for pests that need such as you have room in the tube! You still have the heavy hitters remaining and are not putting max strain on mag spring.
8 shot magazine.... 5 rds #1 buck with 3 rds of slugs. No side saddle, I figure if that doesnt stop the onslaught before I can load another 8 rd mag then Im probably a goner.
Two Federal "Personal Defense" shells followed by four Estate SWAT reduced recoil 2 3/4" #4 buck. Remington reduced recoil slugs in the Speedfeed stock.
