what is the best ammo to load a 12ga pump action shotgun with for home defense?
I own a mossberg 500 with an 8 round magazine and 20 inch barrel with a pistol grip and ATI collapsible stock. but there is alot of debate over what to load it up with for things that go bump in the night. Slugs, buckshot,birdshot? just wanting to see what everyone thinks.
00 Buckshot….. Use 2 3/4 inch only…. 3 Inch cartridges have too much recoil which would make follow up shots slow…..
Look here for more info……

Take a little time to learn what your shotguns pattern is at with what ammo at what distance….. If you ever have to pull the trigger this info will help you know what your shotguns performance will be…..
Look here to understand…..

You will notice he uses Wolf buckshot — I keep mine loaded with this same stuff…..
