My thanks...
Hi Denis,
Thank-you for your hard work. Thanks, also, to the others that have contributed to this thread. I recently purchased five boxes of the PDX1-12 in 2 3/4" for extreme close-in work, in the event of possible armed home invasions that seem to be on the upswing in my state. For longer distance, if necessary, I have Polywad's Quik-Shok loads, also in 2 3/4".
My shotgun is a Remington 870 Desert Recon II, with 8rd capability, Knoxx Stox recoil reducing stock, and has a Trijicon TX30 affixed as my optic. I'm concerned with ranges, inside, of up to 20 yards. Depending upon where Bad Guys would be making their ingress/egress, the PDX1-12s would be adequate. However...
After having read everyone's thoughtful posts, I'll be looking to acquire Federal's Flite Control ammunition. Though I'm a geezer, the Knoxx stock is impressive, and does truly reduce recoil. Still, and all, I'm not a fan of 3" magnums. My shotgun's accuracy is best with reduced recoil loads, though as one poster opined, the desire for a one shot stop, is forever in the back of my mind...
Again, I want to thank-you for helping me change my mind, and hence, my defensive load-out. Between the Flite Controls by Federal, and the Quik-Shoks for longer range/harder targets, the two different loads should meet most of my needs...
