I wish these guys would've caught two shots each of 00 Buck right in face.

Isn't the nominal load for a 12 ga. 00 buck, 8-9 .32 caliber shot???
And she caught two of those in the face...Lucky lady, or bad shot by the BeeGee's...I'm leaning to bad shot...
I heard this morning she's going to be ok...
I bet some things will change for the better for her as well...

I don't believe the article mentioned with what type of gun she was shot.stevie_d_64 wrote:Isn't the nominal load for a 12 ga. 00 buck, 8-9 .32 caliber shot???

As for nominal loads... I've got my shotgun set up so that the first two shots are No.8 shot (2-3/4"). At "bedroom" range, that's going to impact just like a slug, but the No.8 is far less likely to over-penetrate, or to cause injury if it does go through an interior wall.
The rest of the magazine is No.4 Buck (3"). I don't see any reason to go with larger shot than 4B, especially not through an 18" bbl with a cylinder choke. It combine plenty of impact power with reasonable pattern density out to 30 yards.
I plan to put some slugs in the slip-on shell carrier, but only after I've had a chance to practice sighting with slugs. And probably after the addition of fiber optic or luminescent ghost ring sights.
