After becoming an adult & doing a bunch of testing, I've come to rely upon 00 or SSG in 2 3/4" mag loading with 12 balls as a work, police then jail guard load. Slugs are also useful, of course in the line of duty.




Daryl, thanks for the professional experience comments on what you were equipped with.

I think the lighter shot was recommended somewhere, to avoid pass throughs in walls etc and harming other people.

On a different note, I think using BBs could be justified as being prepared for a fox wandering by, while shooting SGs or SSGs might seem a bit like being pre-pared to use a shotgun illegally as a self defence weapon. Not relevant in the USA but possibly very relevant if needed in court elsehwhere many countries in the world.
