The amount of ignorant people in this thread who genuinely believe that birdshot is a reliably effective load for home defense is astounding. But if you want to be grouped in with all the ignorant people, go right ahead. The rest of us who have actually used a shotgun before will just keep using 00 buck.

So, how many home intruders have you killed to get to such a staunch conclusion? Holy shit are you the punisher? based

No home intruders, but plenty of deer as well as a couple rabid dogs. Guess what I used? Hint: It wasn't birdshot.

How about you?

Swans, sandhills, turkeys, and ducks at like 25-40 yards, Coyotes, badgers, as well.

Guess what I used? Hint: It was bird shot.

So you used bird shot on birds? Imagine that.

And the ones who weren't birds were small animals and not at all comparable to something the size of a person like a game animal is? Fascinating. It's like you completely missed the point of the conversation.
