| Topic | Have you ever fired a 3" Magnum Buckshot shell? (12 gauge) |
| MannerSaurus 01/15/18 12:25:43 PM #1: | I've been shooting for about 25 years, and I recently went to buy more ammunition to stock up at the house. They were out of the 2 3/4" 00Buckshot that I usually use for home defense, they only had 3" magnum shells. I figured, well, I know my shotgun is rated for it, so what could it hurt? But I know I needed to test fire it at the range before I loaded it for a home defense round... so I packed up my gun and headed to the range. Fuck that! That was the most awesomely brutal thing I've ever fired in 25 years. I have a lightweight shotgun with the shortest legal barrel length, so the recoil is a little harder in general than a full weight shotgun, but still. By the time I ejected the 5th cartridge, I was extremely certain I would never, ever, ever want this round for home defense. 2 3/4" stays in my gun today, men. --- Hoppe hoppe Reiter, und kein Engel steigt herab mein Herz schlagt nicht mehr weiter, NUR DER REGEN WEINT AM GRAB ...
