I also have 5 reloads that go with my home defense shotgun, and they are USGI (Winchester) 00 buckshot. Just my two cents worth based on experience.

Please tell us about your home intruder experience..

Yes, please do.
Oh wait, let me go grab a single malt and a cigar.
Bet this*ll be good.

One time in band camp... oh, wait, that was another story. My last home intruder was a Eastern Grey Squirrel, and he was exterminated with extreme prejudice. 22 short from my home protection Cricket... Top that!
