![]() ![]() It would make the 12ga shotgun that much more versatile for everyone. Home defense shotguns could be loaded with different power levels for different family members. New shooters could start with a mild shooting 410 power level and later move up to existing low recoil ammo, then regular and magnum as they're ready for it. The advantages of all these would be that you could get one shotgun that could be used by everyone in the family just by changing the ammunition. Maybe use slightly heavier shot to compensate for the lower velocity? 410's are commonly used for this, so it seems like you could cut the payload, and recoil, of a 12ga in half and still be effective against snakes and the like. And while it should be an effective self defense load, it wouldn't have the excessive penetration through household structures that full power 12ga slugs can have.ģ) A subsonic pellet load for pest control. ![]() This would be a lot easier to shoot than a regular 12ga slug. Or possibly a heavier pellet size at subsonic speeds? (although that would take some serious development to get the right terminal ballistics)Ģ) A subsonic 300~350gr slug. ![]() But it should still be more powerful, round for round, than a pistol caliber carbine for home defense. Yes, it'd only half as powerful as standard 12ga buckshot. It would work well in the Mossberg Shockwave. This would have about the same recoil as a 410, and would be a good choice for new shooters, kids and anyone who's recoil sensitive. But why doesn't some manufacturer make some ultra-low recoil 12ga shotgun rounds in a standard 2 3/4 inch size? I'm thinking specifically of:ġ) A 5 pellet OO buck load at full velocity. So the following may not work for some technical reason I'm unaware of. I've only reloaded pistol calibers, but never shotgun rounds. ![]()
