I'm not a buckshot expert, but I've shot a lot of birds with high-brass 5's and 6's. Enough of those pheasants hit the ground ALIVE, that I wouldn't trust it for home defense. I'd prefer the buck shot.

I know every now and then I have to wring a bird's neck. I would hate to have to do that to a person....
