Home Defense

[jedichef]

Just picked up my first shotgun, a Rock Island M5. Any recommendations on what to keep it loaded with for home defense? Thanks!

double ought buck shot, any kind.

Run at least 50 rounds to pattern at several distances and to become comfortable.

00 buck with Flight Control Wad: either Federal Tactical LE 8 or 9-pellet or Federal Vital-Shok copper plated, or if the job calls for Rambo level defense, the 15-pellet 00-buck 3" Fed with Flight Control wad
