I guess I really started something here, when I said birdshot I was meaning NOTHING less than 7- 71/2 or LARGER but nothing larger than #1buckshot. The typical "Defense" load is 00 buck but I just prefer a few more pellets. And again at INSIDE THE HOUSE distances I think any of the loads I mentioned would spoil a crooks night.

I just want to make sure you understand I am ONLY talking about INSIDE The house.
