I did some reading and got converted to #1 Buck.
2.75", 12 #1 buck over, IIRC, 26 gr. WSF. Clock out around 1250 fps.
#1 is .300".
I think of it as trying to dodge 12 308 rounds at once.
Gives you a warm feeling.
I’m sure the perp on the business end of your muzzle will appreciate the care and thoughtfulness you put into selecting the #1 buckshot round to greet them. They’ll get a warm wet feeling as they wet their pants. Lol.
I read about the #1 buck, someone was saying it had the most sectional density and area coverage per weight or something like that with the most pellets. I agree with you it is a good choice.
