Hornady Critical Defense 12 Gauge

A: Richard, Hornady #4 Buck Shot will get the job done and limit penetration in other rooms of the house in case you have loved ones living there : https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/61039 ------ If not, the 00 Buck load above will work well too.

A: any thing from #1 buck to OOO buck will do the job I suggest trying the mini shells as you can double your capacity and lower the recoil https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/2445/aguila+1c128970+12+ga+ms+bkshot+20%2f25

A: Hi Robert and welcome. Yes Sir. Same concept as a .357 Magnum being able to fire the shorter .38 Special. A particular length chamber can fire that length or shorter shells. Cheers and stay safe!

A: Hi Robert, yes sir, these will work with no issues. Stay safe & have a great day!
