I stagger 00 and 1oz slugs every other round. Penetration isn't much of a concern here.
I can put 162 pellets down range in 2 seconds.
Birdshot #6-#4 are to my understanding excellent options when over penetration is a major concern (kids/multiple occupied bedrooms, apartment living, etc) and distances are very short. Honestly I would like to see more testing videos of heavier birdshot loads across the gauges to see if the are interesting sweet spot combination of shot size, load weight, and gauge to be found.I’m running #6 shot in my Winny 1300.
Just curious what gauge are you using that #1 buck out of?#1 buck
I'm glad to see commercially available 410 3" 000 buckshot loads. I've been loading my own 3" 000 buckshot loads and they keep a nice tight pattern out of my Mossberg 500 with 18.5" cylinder bore barrel and my Mossberg Shockwave with 14" cylinder bore barrel. The pattern opens up to 12-14 inches at 25 yards. Burried somewhere in the shotgun section is a thread I did posting photos of my results.I like Remington Ultimate Home Defense 3" shell with 5 pellets of 000 Buck for my .410 home defense shotgun. Since over penetration is not a concern for my particular living situation I am comfortable with factory loaded 000. If it was a concern I would investigate loading smaller buckshot, or try out the ATI BBB factory loads.
Anyway the Remington Ultimate Home Defense .410 loads pattern nicely at under 20 yards, has very mild recoil, is relatively quiet (I believe the pellets are traveling at under 1100 fps leaving my Eternal Rev 410 shotgun, so sub sonic) and delivers what I feel is an excellent blend of lead on target, with respectable power balanced with ease of handling and low chance to cause disorientation at night from noise and flash.
I don't know, the Isuzu Impulse turbo is pretty quick.

I like #4 buckshot for the interior of a home. Ample penetration, without over-penetration that you may experience from 00 or slugs.
Outside of the home 00 or slugs where shots are most likely farther.
#4 buckshot inside 20 yards is devastating.

Bird shot is for birds.
I'm surprised of all the birds hots mentioned already and no mention of this Win loading in 20 & 12ga until now!
