This is what your #6 birdshot is worth: as a kid, I saw a farm cat accidentally get shot (it was in grass higher than its head where rabbits were being hunted) at 20 feet with a 1.25 oz. load of #6. The cat survived the wound to its side (a direct hit). As stated above, I would not want to be shot with a 1 ounce load of #6, but I certainly would not choose it for my self defense load.
