He said "HD Shotgun." Last I checked, rhinos don't invade your average American house.

Maybe Rinos will, maybe not, but the dems will sure try.

Nice deal, #4 buck has like 19 .27 caliber pellets and will do a nice job on anything you need it for on 2 legs or 4, up to large dogs.

Yeah, a Donkey's likely to go down with just 2.75" loads.

They have them through CDNN for a little over 200 bucks.

DO NOT SHOT 3 1/2" SHELLS THREW IT!

They even used the wrong word on their website? It should be through.

Threw is like you threw a baseball.

...not unless "done" is before it. i.e. "He done throw'd the ball."

(wow talk about thread drift )

Good choice. Should do the job for
HD. Would suggest #4 buck, standard
or green mag, that is up to you.

hi guys as i promised I took a video of me trying my shotgun, Its my first time shooting one so be gentle with the comments..here are my shots with the 00 buck shells..I must say I had a blast(no fun intended) but I will probably just shoot it once a month becs i'm a big whuuz on recoil..I can compare it to shooting an 30 06..

Federal offers 00 buck in a low recoil load that drops the muzzle velocity by around 200fps, which significantly reduces kick to allow for faster follow up shots. Firearmstactical.com reviewed the best load for HD and found that the #1 has the best potential for wound trauma. However, #1 is not, to my knowledge, offered in a low recoil load like the 00. With 00 in a 2 3/4" shell, it's like getting hit with a 9-round burst from a .32ACP...it'll drop you in your tracks. Don't bother with 3" or 3 1/2" loads for HD...they don't offer any better stopping power than the tactical 2 3/4" loads, and they kick a lot harder.

Birdshot at very close distances will produce a pretty nasty wound, but in gelatin tests even at point blank range, birdshot did not penetrate more than 6", so it's not the best choice if you're deterring a violent attacker. Slugs are a bad choice as well as shot placement becomes the key factor, and they overpenetrate. Keep in mind even with a cylinder bore the shot will only spread out around 1" for every yard it covers, at least at HD distances. So you still need to aim carefully.

Just load it up with Federal 00 buck LR loads for HD and you'll be fine. Odds are, if you ever heard a bump in the night and crank a shell into the chamber, the sound will send the perp running home with a load in his pants.
