Buck Shot

 Remington 12ga #4 Buckshot Ballistics Gel Test - Best Home Defense Load? 🇺🇸

I saw a comment that Mrgunsngear had a gel test for #4 buck on his channel.  Found this one.  About halfway into the video, you can see the gel block.  Looks like no shot went all the way through the block.  The shot is smaller, but that is a lot of wound tracks.

Federal #1 buck with flight control wad.

A good demonstration of why people like 12 gauge for home defense.

Patterning with a Mossberg Shockwave 590.  Better than I expected.

So, the news has a story on right now about a psycho escaping from a transport, and it happened a half mile from your house!
 
Now... you have the choice between a .32 that holds 9 shots, and a .25 with a frickin' gigglestick and da switch...

I run 00 federal flite control in my HD 870. 6 rounds of that and the last round in the pipe is a 3" magnum slug. Side saddle carries 5 more 00 and another slug. I really like how the buck patterns out of my 870 with the flite control wad and unless there's a really compelling reason I likely won't switch to the #1 buck.

Had a discussion the other day about what would be best for drones after watching Ukraine videos. We figured 4 buck would probably have the best combination of range, shot pattern, and power.
A plan is just a list of things that doesn't happen.
Is defenestration possible through the overton window?
