Bulletproofing Your House - 12 Gauge Buckshot Vs. Wall and Fridge.

[CollapseSakanade]

Size and moving energy always make a difference. Thats like saying one pellet of double ought buck is the same as a slug. Less powder or more power is moot when the weight difference is so much. 00 and #4 are both considered "buckshot" but they are in two difference playing fields. Just like a 7/8th ounce slug is much different from a 1 3/4 ounce slug.

@VeryLowBudget - Good stuff! You may want to also shoot through the lower portion; that top part was the freezer and I wonder if it was thicker up top.

[CollapseSakanade]

What kinda buckshot? 2 3/4 3" 3 1/2 makes a big difference might not stand up to a super mag

[sudaev]

@CollapseSakanade - Actually those likely would make no difference; magnum shells are longer due to the increase in pellet load. And any increase in powder would merely be compensating for the heavier load.

@sudaev though the heavier loads would be in a different form effecting range,accuracy and effectivness.

@ciran22 - Huh?

@sudaev a slug doesent spread meaning its a single projectile,this effects the range and form at which it travels,if you dont get opinions then ...........
