Couldn't turn up much in search so I'm wondering what you guys think? This would be for a shockwave if that matters.

FTFY.Throw 3 boxes worth of12GLegos down the hallway in the dark and hope he slips on one of them and busts his ass.
Dunno why #4, #00 is more effective against flesh and solid objects.I agree with #4 buck 2-3/4 as the smallest. I wouldn't go below that.
As a note it is worth measuring the longest LIKELY shot in your house, setting up a target at that distance and practicing to learn exactly what your gun patterns at those short distances.
Over penetration can be an issue.Dunno why #4, #00 is more effective against flesh and solid objects.
If you live alone in the house, and you don't have any neighbors within 1/4 mile, sure.Dunno why #4, #00 is more effective against flesh and solid objects.
For the most part I agree. My wife is significantly more accurate with Federal #4 Buck shortys so that is what would be in hers. Either way I wouldn't be using a shockwave to begin with though. I don't think the minor advantages to maneuverability outweigh not having a stock on a shotgun, especially using full power SD/HD loads.For HD, I'd want the full payload of #4 buck in a 2¾ shell, despite the reduced tube capacity.
Good to know. are they putting them on regular shotguns or just the shockwave.Opsol Mini Clip?
IIRC, recent production Shockwave 12 gauge has a new elevator which will feed short and standard length shells without needing adaptors for the minis?
Yes this shockwave was feeding the mini shells fineFor HD, I'd want the full payload of #4 buck in a 2¾ shell, despite the reduced tube capacity.

never seen those beforeThis:

The S12PDX1 Defender shotshell ammo features a black oxide high-base head and three pellets of Grex buffered 00 plated buckshot.winchester.com
In addition to the over penetration thing that eboos brought up, once your shot has enough mass to penetrate to the required depth at the ranges you’re using it, smaller shot will have a larger combined cross section which will shut down a threat faster.Dunno why #4, #00 is more effective against flesh and solid objects.
Note to self. Use the loop on the foregripShockwave at 3am half asleep and still buzzed…

S&b 12 pellet copper coated 00 buck.In a Shockwave I'd stay with 2 3/4" and use #4 buckshot.
