Look around your house and figure the range you may have when you drop.
Inside my house...I’m seeing 10 or 12 feet.
No go out to your range in the back yard and pop a few pumpkins at .... say 15 feet .. with 00 and #7.
My wife would have a fit if I put a 00 splatter in the living room...... #7 ? well .... she would fuss, but not as much.
Trade offs .... life is full of trade offs.
