Buckshot
There’s a lock on your front door. It’s a symbol of “Don’t come in here.” Sadly, some unruly types don’t understand that symbol, or disregard it entirely. That’s why Hornady Critical Defense 12 Gauge ammunition exists.
This home defender is loaded with eight pellets of 00 buckshot – not nine, like some heavier loads have, but eight, which is still plenty for neutralizing a threat at close range. The little bit of weight reduction does help to mitigate recoil, which is good, because the shell’s recoil is already frisky enough as it is. Its 1,600 fps muzzle velocity is HOT, which leaves little to chance vis-à-vis stopping power.
You would ideally have all eight of those double-aughts hit the threat. Hornady’s Versatite wad works toward creating that most favorable outcome, as it sticks with the shot column for a good distance after leaving the barrel, and finally cleanly separates from it via the air brakes surrounding its base.
