Federal Flight Control No. 1 Buckshot - The one to use for Self Defense.
At 20 yards, the Flight Control has a pattern no larger than a GOLF BALL.
Conversely, the 00 shot is in a 1 foot pattern.
Beyond that, it is not so great. But then, most people aren't going to shoot over 75' distances in their home.
I agree with all that. It just made me think of every argument I've ever had over loads with folks, or for that matter, practice distances with carry guns.
"Why are you shooting so close?"
"That's 12 yards. Here I'll move it to more realistic distance if that makes you happy."
"You moved it closer!"
"That's 7 yards. I dont know about you, but I'm pretty sure the average mugging/robbery/assault or anything where I'd be justified shooting anyone takes place a lot closer than 36'."
