Yeah we've bought into the slug and 00 buck deal...
folks really...7.5's and 6's really will get the job done...safer as well for others...
Go pattern your gun and shoot a few water jugs at home defense ranges and see if you are not still impressed..
and G1D is right...need a reload handy as well...I keep the side saddle stocked...10 shots before the 870 goes dry
