The longest possible shot I could take in my house would be less than 30 feet. And #4 buck from less than 30 feet is nothing to sneer at.

If you want nothing to sneer at in that distance, look at what 5.56 can do.

I use 00. Intruders might get #5 if I happen to have my rabbit raping loads in there at the time.

I pull out the shot, and places a bunch of 5.56 projo's in the hull because all the rifle guys here say how well it works for home defense.

Really depends on the terrain and the color of the sun in the sky. Buckshot I suppose, but only if you can bear it.

I still have some marked H132 (yes, it's old).  


I was lucky to pick up a quantity of the 00 and #1 buck sizes from GT Dist over the last few years.  9 to 15 pellets in a very small impact area.  


I'm too cash strapped for an AR

I have been considering switching to #4 buckshot. I have read that it offers the best balance of penetration and energy transfer.
