Which 00 buck would be best for home defense in my Mossberg 500, 20" barrel ? Is there a benefit to tactical buckshot ? More than one person has recomended it for hd. The Federal Tactical 00 buck is rated at a lower velocity than the regular buck (1145 ft/sec vs. 1325 ft/sec) and has fewer pellets. Why would less velocity and less pellets be better ?
