Winchester Ammo X124 Super X High Brass 12 Gauge 2.75" 1 1/4 oz 4 Shot, is reffered to as the "Goldie lox" round because its just right as far as a balance between stopping power, and penetration and is in stock here https://madisonguns.com/winchester-ammo-x124-super-x-high-brass-12-gauge-2-75-1-1-4-oz-4-shot-25rds/ -------------- If overpenatration isn't a concern and you want something really hard hitting https://madisonguns.com/federal-law-enforcement-12-gauge-ammo-2-3-4-tactical-truball-rifled-slug/
Carlos, reliability is the first order of the day so bypass the mini-shells. 2 3/4 inch low recoil #4 Buck Shot is the home defense ticket as it gives the best compromise of not over penetrating and yet effective stopping power. https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/411559297/rio+royal+buck+%234+buck+12ga+27+pellet+5+pack+2+3%2f4 -------------- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhZf_x8Esms&t=313s
Carlos, I use Aguila mini shells in buckshot, you can fit 8 rds in the magazine + 1 in chamber, and the recoil is greatly reduced, but they still pack a punch. The Minishell buckshot load packs 5/8-ounces of buckshot pellets and moves them at 1,250 feet per second. That translates to 273.4 grains of lead going downrange, generating 948 foot-pounds of energy. That's still more projectile weight than two 9x19mm bullets or a single, fat .45 ACP projectile, and the energy level easily exceeds double the amount of most standard handgun cartridges. budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/2445/aguila+1c128970+12+ga+ms+bkshot+20%2f25 You will have to get an OPSol mini-clip adapter for the shells to cycle properly, and there are no reliability issues whatsoever, I shoot them all the time. >>> budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/2445/aguila+1c128970+12+ga+ms+bkshot+20%2f25
