I'm not very familiar with shotgun ammo and its terminal effects, therefore I need some help.
I purchased a new Remington 870 w/ an 18" bbl. today, primarily for HD.
I happen to have a few different types/loads on hand that I used to use many years ago for hunting. Following, is from my personal inventory; what do you recommend for single-family home defense?
This is what I have, already:
A. Fed. 2 3/4" magnum 00 buckshot (12 pellets)
B. Fed. 3" magnum #4 buckshot
C. Fed. 3" magnum #6 (1 5/8 oz.)
D. Rem. 3" magnum 4x6 duplex loads.
I also have some dove/quail shells that are probably too light for HD.
What are your suggestions/recommendations? TIA.
