![]() ![]() I had thought of mini shells helping to maximize round capacity, but won't hold my breath (I haven't been able to find any on the shelves in my stores). 23 diameter seemed sufficient in high quantities, but this helps to narrow my focus. I was wondering if F and FF would have been an option since the. I'll keep an eye out for the #2, #3, & #4 Buckshot and 00B while I'm at it and test some spread patterning for my distance when I finally pick the KSG up (the waiting is the hardest part). Basically what they had except the very small birdshot. ![]() I got a variety of some Birdshot loads too, as small as 7 1/2, but mostly for the range practice. I had acquired a few boxes of BB, #1Buckshot, 0B and "Defensive" Slugs. With that said, I just don't trust the mini-shells but can't find any of the Remington Personal Protection Reduced Recoil #4 buckshot loads I'm going to buy as soon as I can find them.Īwesome info. When asked if he didn't think the #4 was heavy enough, Watson explained "No one I shot ever complained". Some people also question that #4 buck won't penetrate as deeply as needed, especially if the recipient is wearing a thick leather jacket.įounding member of the Navy SEAL's, Chief James "Patches" Watson described how he used the then Navy standard #4 buckshot in his multiple tours in Vietnam. But were unable to test yourself! The Box O' Truth The famed "Box O' Truth" has some test results of shotgun ammo on walls. Inside 10 yards #4 buck has a lot to offer, but keep in mind that ANY projectile that is an effective defense round almost always will go through a typical interior wall. The "Big Three" in buckshot is #4, #1, and 00.īallistically the "best" is #1 because it gives better penetration then #4, but has more shot for wider damage then 00. There's no such thing as a do over in HD and there can be multiple perps. But whatever you use they must be 100% reliable. Reduced recoil loads are a good thing, as are short shells so that more can be put in the magazine. You want a tight pattern that stays where it should be. You don't want spread that travels to parts unknown. It might tighten up the approx' 6" pattern I get with #4 buckshot and if so, that's a good thing. I have a choke adapter for my KS7 that I have yet to test. I don't have a KSG, but as I wrote the question isn't shotgun model specific. What I mean is that it's not a 1:1 ratio. Just bear in mind that 16" of penetration in test gel doesn't mean 16" of penetration in flesh. Spend some time on youtube looking at videos of penetration tests. Larger buckshot and slugs can over penetrate and maybe go through walls. It has enough penetration but not too much. At distances up to 10 yards I think #4 buckshot is the way to go. The question not only covers the KSG but pretty much all 12ga shotguns. ![]()
