    This link is much more convincing. I may have to reconsider, although I like having the slug in the mix. I have even practiced with it there, its how I have always loaded the shotgun so it doesn't surprise me. I think you guys won me over on the birdshot argument, with heavy clothes on you aren't going to get penetration. I will have to pick up some #1 also.

    I concede Chevysoldier you were right I was wrong! :bow:

    lol All good man. :cheers:

    To your credit I may consider another lead round other than birdshot. What would be a good compromise? Something that will give me a bigger pattern than buckshot, but more stopping power than birdshot?

    I don't see much point in anything other than 00 and slugs. I don't like the idea of mixing 00 and slugs because when your engaging the threat, you're not gonna remember what round you're on and if the next round is 00 or a slug. I would load all 00 and keep 00 and slugs on a side saddle so that you can switch if need be.

    At range inside a home with cylinder bore, spread is going to be negligible. You could go with buckshot that will have a few more pellets; 16 pellets 1 Buck, 12 pellets 0 Buck, 8 pellets 00 Buck.

    Birdshot wont give a bigger pattern :dunno:

    Not by much and not at the range you'll be at in a home. And at distance it will not have any power behind it. Take some birdshot and 00 buck and go to the range. Check shot patterns at ~6ft and back. See what you get.

    1. Because I want

    2. Because I can

    3. :dunno:

    4. Its the way I for it.

    These are the only reasons that make sense. hell, you can load bean bags if you want. I still think you should rethink loading bird shot but to each his own. :cheers:

    NM, I realize you step trying to sway me, but I don't see it working. I will be at the top of the stairs approximately 10 steps if they cross the steps they will be hit.

    It's just that none of the reasons you have said about loading one round of bird shot seems valid to me and you haven't given me any reason to think otherwise.

    If someone breaks in my home and I have to use my weapon I highly doubt I will only shoot one round. If I was using a single shot or double barrel I would see your point.

    Are you only going to shoot once?

    I plan to shoot until the threat is no longer a threat

    You just said you're going to use the bird shot to slow them down. You said you only have one round of bird shot. So if you're going to fire multiple times then why even load one round of bird shot followed by 00? That's pointless.

    Like you said, the idea is to stop the threat. If bird shot is only going to maybe slow a threat, why even waste the space in the gun with it? What if you miss with other rounds? The spread of a shot gun isn't going to be all that much inside a home, chances are you will not hit two intruders with one round. If you try to with bird shot, they might only get a couple of pellets, like you had shot them with a bb gun, and they had better be standing shoulder to shoulder.

    What do you think 1 round of birdshot, 2rounds of00 Buck, 1 slug, and 2 more rounds of 00buck will do. :dunno: if that doesn't work I keep the AR loaded with probably 6 plus mags. I wont stop shooting until they stop coming. The wife will empty her shotgun too I'm sure.

    00 buck and slugs, yeah will stop someone more than likely. Birdshot, probably not. By your thoughts, I should load my .40 with those little bird shot bullets, whatever they are called, followed by JHP. Why even put one round of birdshot in there then if your just gonna follow it with 00 and slugs? Just like LE and military aren't gonna load birdshot in their shotguns either.

    I think it is totally fine if you read my posts. I was using that as an example of judging him as he judges everyone with a lifted truck... I think there is a place for it, but as mentioned, if you have ABS and ride off road, you need to be able to turn it off as having it on will end you up on your ear.

    There are a lot of guys that will argue one way or another on ABS. Yes, it may be mandatory and it may be on everything nowadays, but the tracking the car example, serious track day drivers will turn off the ABS as on the track with production based cars, it is slower with it engaged vs off...

    Anyways, I was slamming him like he slams the truck guys... Just an example to judge blindly. I don't know the guy. Don't care. Just was doing what he was to prove a point...

    ah, I only half read all your guys' posts, my bad. I'm just here for the popcorn. :D

    Hey dude that seems to really like to talk about men's junk... I was talking about YOU. The ABS on your DRZ or whatever it is called. ABS is a crutch. Know what my ABS is? My left two fingers... I was taking what you like to say about people and turning it on you. Now, who needs a chalk board with stick figures to sort things out?

    Plus, if you are trying to turn this into something it isn't and using someone's handicap, you are a complete douche.

    Also, if you actually did travel to that few of states and don't do much off roading or fire road riding with your type of bike, what's that make you? And don't tell us that you do serious off roading with a bike that has ABS...

    You're a dude with some serious issues to try and paint the idea I was talking about someone like you did. Pure bullshit and shows your true colors... You're an a-hole, dude. That was really low.

    I don't usually drop to name calling, but that was really a wrong and terrible thing to insinuate. I'm done here. Total bullshit.

    It's okay to have a big truck if you want it but not okay to have ABS if you want it? :confused:
