In a shooting we had at my local S.O. Sheriff's Office back many years ago, the perpetrator, a man of typical stature, was shot in the area of the belly button square on with a Mossberg 500 Tactical Shotgun loaded with 8-pellet (yes, eight pellets - it eliminates the one stray pellet normally encountered in 00 buck shot patterns) 00 Buckshot load at a distance of about seven yards.

This load, by the way is excellent, by far the very best law enforcement loads, and one of the tightest patterning loads I have ever shot in any shotgun. It raises the safe usage of heavy gauge buckshot well out to 30 yards, and is great for headshots at seven to 10 yards, or a little further out in improved cylinder choke barrels. The 8 pellet load is really pretty good and has a very tight group. The round is great for head shots or shots out to 30 yards. It can be enhanced even more if you employ a choke.

At any rate, the nut job got his guts blown out his back side. Of course he was stopped in his tracks but did not expire.

Buckshot is as its name inplies, for large game. Just imagine the damage a Mossberg Persuader would do to a criminal intent on harming you.

Most bad guys are uninformed about the destruction buckshot can cause when fired from a Mossberg 500 Persuader. Make no mistake, a Mossberg 500 Persuader 50521 6 Shot 12 ga will punch right through you and leave nothing but a big hole and a puff of dirt in the background.

If you have overpenetration issues, you may want to closely check out whether a shotgun is the best firearm to opt for. A lower powered handgun, which can still punch through a wall, but is only putting a single projectile at a time through it (assuming you are missing your designed target), may work out better for you, especially in an condo where there are neighbors close at hand.Don't forget, you want to eliminate and or stop the bad man and not your next door neighbor. Even so, you should restrict your handgun ammo choice to pre-fragmented ammo. I am sticking with a Mossberg 500 50521 12 ga 6 shot with 18 inch barrel.

For general home and property defense, where over-penetration is not a leading worry, buckshot of diverse sorts and sizings is most likely the best choice, not only for two-legged predators, but for huge four-legged predators at close range as well. Those trap and skeet loads run out of steam pretty quick in terms of performance over distance.

The law enforcement society dumped the use of #4 buckshot as a duty load and went back to 00 buck when we began finding out that #4 wasn’t giving the needed penetration. Rifled slugs are mostly to be avoided unless you need the longer range and penetration a rifled slug affords, or if you live somewhere like Africa, where your four legged predator problem involves huge animals like bear, instead of the coyote of the Midwest.

When I bought my Mossberg 500 Persuader 50521 6 Shot 12 ga Tactical Shotgun, I ended up ordering it over the internet for much less. Most dealers in my location wanted list price ... plus which did not set well with my budget plan. I acquired my Tactical Shotgun from Class 3 Weapons in Houston, Texas at a significant cost savings. Class 3 Weapons is at the moment promoting their Tactical Shotguns at an aggressive pricing. Various Tactical Shotgun models start at an incredibly economical price of $269.00 according to the the Class 3 Weapons website.

In a shooting we had at my local Sheriff’s Office back many years ago, the wrongdoer, a man of average stature, was shot in the area of the navel square on with a Mossberg 500 50521 12 ga 6 shot with 18 inch barrel Tactical Shotgun maxed out with 8-pellet (yes, eight pellets - it eradicates the one stray pellet normally encountered in 00 buck shot patterns) 00 Buckshot load at a distance of about seven yards.

This load, by the way is excellent, quite likely the very best law enforcement loads, and one of the tightest patterning loads I have ever shot in any shotgun. It raises the safe usage of heavy gauge buckshot well out to 30 yards, and is great for headshots at seven to 10 yards, or a little further out in improved cylinder choke barrels. The 8 pellet load is really pretty good and has a very tight group. The round is good for head shots or shots out to thirty yards. It can be enhanced all the more if you employ a choke.

Anyway all eight pellets blew through the suspect’s intestines and impacted in the dirt on the other side of him. He quit his terrifying actions but did not die. This means that if you hit an wrongdoer dead on with 00 buckshot, even with a lower velocity reduced recoil load, the pellets can and do exit right out the back, endangering others.

The round is called buckshot for a reason, its for massive animals.

Most crooks are ignorant about the harm buckshot can cause when fired from a Mossberg 500 Persuader. Make no mistake, a Mossberg 500 will punch right through you and leave nothing but a big hole and a puff of dirt in the background.

Even if you decide against a tactical shotgun, stick with a handgun and use fragmented ammo. I am sticking with a Mossberg 500 Persuader 50521 12 ga.

If over-penetration is not a concern, get an item like a bad ass Mossberg 500 Persuader 50521 12 ga loaded up with buckshot, that will manage any predicament, 2 legged or 4 legged.

The police community dumped the use of #4 buckshot as a duty load and went back to 00 buck when we began finding out that #4 wasn’t giving the preferred penetration. Rifle slugs are avoided unless you live in an area with huge 4 legged beasts.
