What do you recommend? Birdshot? Any particular number shell? I have a Remy 870 Tactical and a Remy 1187 Tactical Autoloader w/ .00 buck, but am more practiced with my Kimber .45 ACPs .230gr HP, in an interior situation (IDPA). At 10ft, my Remys' .00 buck give a 1¾-2" pattern.

I am nothing even vaguely resembling an expert.

There are others around here that will be a lot more use to you for advice.

All I know is that 00 buck is a lot more likely to go through walls, and at really close range I also don’t think there’s a huge amount of difference in the wound produced between shot types.

But, as said, not an expert.

For CQB inside, use '0' or #1. It put out the most effective lead out into the best pattern. Also lessens over-penetration.
#1 is particularly recommended for inside work. If it is for a mixture then go with #1 & single 0.
