>>11350101Op isn't looking for penetration he wants something effective with less powder behind it.
Buck usually has more grains than bird shot and slugs are about the same grains as buck shot.
Shoot anyone with bird shot close range they are gonna regret it and have a good hole through em due to the pellets not separating fast. long range they get peppered.
Can't go wrong with it in my opinion. Save the buck and slugs for outside.
