Hi, Buckshot will perform best for home defense, especially for mod choke shotgun. Hornaday 12 GA 00 Buckshot Critical Defense, Federal Power Shok #4 Buck, or Fiocchi LE Reduced Recoil 00 Buck perform extremely well for this role. I hope this helps! Cheers.

Steven, Low recoil 12ga 00 Buck will work fine for defense. For in home, #4 Buck is optimal for less potential for over penetration but low recoil 00 Buck works as well. I highly recommend patterning a few different brands and picking the ones that pattern best in your shotgun. Cheers and stay safe!

I personally prefer high brass #4 shot in the house. Even less chance of over penetration. I do not want to get a family member in another room. Modified choke will hold plenty tight down the hallway.

any buckshot that you can find in stock right now
