I have a question about bird shot, since it is one of the most readily available and least expensive loads out there today. I have heard from quite a few people that birdshot (although not as devastating as buckshot), can pack quite a punch and can be excellent for home defense.
If this is true, I'd like someone to let me know what birdshot loads are the best for HD. Remember I know nothing about birdshot whatsoever, but I do have a shotgun so that's at least some progress lol...
I have a little stash of 00 buckshot set aside for "rainy days", and that is what is currently in my Mossberg 500. But the 00 buckshot in the stores right now is nearly $1.00 per round, maybe more.
The birdshot, however, is much less expensive. I just don't know what one to get. Trying to build a house out of full ammo boxes (just kidding).
Help is appreciated.
