Hogdog: this is a thread about 12 gauges which you don't even own. How is it you can have SO MANY comments on this stuff? I really am astounded.

Anyway, to the OP, as many threads will tell you, you probably don't want 00 Buck. I would personaly say "definitely not." Try 1 or 0 Buck. Othere will give you some pablum: it's all good if you just practice alot, or, if ya'll ain't a set ta killin' a grizzly then you'se a gonner. Whatever.

More valid points...

A Mossberg 500 WILL hold 5 + 1 3" shells -- American ones (with star crimps). Even if they didn't, which they do, and you were anxious, there are 12 ga. 2-3/4" Magnums with 12 pellets. Knock yourself out. And maybe keep a pair of Hocks Noise Braker standard ear plugs in your nightstand as I do -- they "reduce ALL sounds to approximately speech level" so you can still hear the bumps-in-the-night but not necessarily go deaf if you, or someone else, pull a trigger indoors.
