Liked your analysis of how pellets stack within a given hull inside diameter.A: I am a strong supporter of the second amendment. Outdoors, I like bigger pellets because they penetrate better at extended ranges, but that extra penetrating ability is overkill for taking down someone coming through my bedroom door. These smaller sizes put a whole lot more pellets into a target per trigger pull, while providing more than sufficient penetration for close-range defense. I actually like smaller buckshot in general for HD I load my bedside 12ga with Remington #4B. Synchronizor wrote:I've always favored the smaller buckshot - #2B, #3B, & #4B - in the 20ga. Which version of their #1B did you guys order? I wish the big ammo companies would do something similar. The fact that they provide recoil figures is a nice touch, too (though there's nothing that I can find concerning the gun weight they use to calculate those recoil figures). It's cool that that the outfit you're purchasing from offers different pellet counts, types, and velocity levels rather than just selling a single load per pellet size. 30-caliber pellets is certainly going to put the hurt on any home invader short of a Terminator. It's just a better use of the available space, and in both gauges, the tighter packing tends to reduce pellet deformation & improve patterning (one reason 12ga #1B loads are known for tighter patterning than 00B).īut as I like to say, if you don't trust ammo or equipment, for whatever reason, it doesn't matter how well it performs. #1B in a 20ga stacks like 000B in a 12, while #3B and #4B 20ga loads mimic the pellet stacking of #1B in a 12ga. #1B can be made to fit in a 20ga, and it's been shown to work fine (there's a Rio 9-pellet #1B 20ga load that's been on the market for a while), but it's not very efficient.
I've always favored the smaller buckshot - #2B, #3B, & #4B - in the 20ga.
