“Easy to do and then look in to Centurion ammo for it. A large ball bearing surrounded by ten small ones. They will stop a bull of a guy.”
The Centurion ammo sounds interesting.
Depending on your situation, overpenetration may be an issue though. Overpenetration is when (some) of your projectiles either miss or penetrate your intended target, then go on to pass through something you didn’t intend - such as your wall, your neighbor’s wall, and your neighbor. Or perhaps your child in the next room.
I’d recommend erring on the side of caution in this area. Many recommend #4 buckshot for home defense. It has plenty of penetration to be fatal (particularly for head shots) but will tend to stay in the walls a bit better. Bear in mind that at closer ranges the shot will act more like one big mass, and you will get a 1-3” hole in the intruder rather than multiple smaller holes.
The #4 buckshot is .24” in diameter, and you get twenty one pellets in a 1 oz. 2 3/4” load. That’s as opposed to eight .33” pellets using 00 buck. I’d also advocate using the 2 3/4” shells, there’s no need at all for 3” or 3 1/2”. The 2 3/4” shells are much more “user friendly”, meaning they won’t recoil as much.
I unde4rstand what you are trying to say.
I live in a pretty large house on 4 acres.
IF I shoot, in my home there is little chance of hitting anyone other than the intended.
I’ll stick with the centurion,
Check out who uses it.
