Re: #4 Shot for Home Defense?
phil,
Yes. #4 high brass.
Need proof? Know of an old tree stump? Step back a couple paces and let her rip.
I don't think any home invader, hopped up or not, would not be stopped or retreat.
#4 Buck? Vietnam yes. Bedroom, not necessary.
Just my .02 worth.
Best wishes,
fritz

Re: #4 Shot for Home Defense?
At close range, a #8 trap load will kill you just as dead.
Any shotgun load will stop a bad guy at home defense distances, but the ones that end with buck are a whole lot more effective.

Re: #4 Shot for Home Defense?
I prefer something with more penetration so I would just use the #4 for Turkey. Below is a another gel test of #4 birdshot.
