PS. I did take out a wasps nest the size of a basket ball from 30 feet. That thing was up in a tree. One round of #6 blew the nest into dust and the survivors that were buzzing about got the second load. They never came back. I reckon the pattern may have been 8 inches in diameter at that distance but unsure.
PS ... I covet your Marlin Camp Carbine in .45 acp.
