I would just use 7 1/2 bird shot at close quarters in 12 ga
I like the little 410 in 000 buck for home defense too, but those rds are pricey.
The nice thing about 410 000 buck is that even a gurl can handle it with no issues. thats 5, 30 cal balls per squeeze at 1325 fps
Grateful for your expertise.
Do these rounds kill a crook at close range?
