#00 spread at room distance

[DHart]

A quote I often see re: shotguns.
"At typical room distance a shotgun has very little spread, so there's no hit percentage advantage over a rifle."

Benelli Nova 18.5"
Winchester "Military Grade" 9 pellet #00 Buckshot
12 yards (distance from my hallway to the front door, across the living room).

Your set-up is foolish at your anticipated 12 yards. And close to useless at any greater distance. (Though it would be effective at 3 yards.)

Obviously, you're convinced that this choice of yours is wonderful and you stubbornly cling to that belief, so what's the point in perpetuating this thread any further? Six pages of wasted bandwidth, in my opinion, and potentially very misleading to newbies as to the correct set-up for a home defense shotgun. Time for me to unsubscribe to the thread.
