Anyone shot anything other than birds with birdshot? I have shot a porcupine at 15 feet and a rabid raccoon at around 20, both with #6 birdshot because that is what I had with me at the time. Neither was adequate to the task and closer follow up shots were required.
I've also shot small critters at contact distance and birdshot is fatal, so is rubber buckshot or even blanks if you are close enough. If part of your plan is to allow a threat to get closer so your round of choice will work then I'd respectfully suggest you rethink your plan.
Train with whatever you like. When you get serious select a round that will get the job done.
