A: Thanks for reaching out, John! This shotshell is designed for shooting clay targets at trap and skeet. Its #7.5 shot is also suitable for hunting small birds. For self-defense with a shotgun, you want buckshot or slugs. 00 buck is most preferred for self-defense. (Compare a 0.33" diameter 00 buck pellet to an 0.095" diameter #7.5 shot pellet and you will see why.) We have 00 buck shells for self-defense available here: bulkammo.com/bulk-12ga-ammo-12ga00buckrr12bk800rem-250. If you would prefer to make your shotgun perform more equivalent to a rifle, with one, large projectile, you will like Remington's Slugger: bulkammo.com/bulk-12ga-ammo-12gaslug7-8ozremingtonhv-5. We hope this helps!
