Agree completely. Only caveat I would add is that number 4's are more effective than 6's or 8's in a HD environment.

Seems the afteraction of one of our prison riots indicated that lighter loads required you to be *really* close. 4s were chosen due to the increased penetration.

I really like the "breath mints" line and am going to add it to my vocabulary.

What's your opinion on the "1 inch per yard" idea? Refers to the anticipated shot charge spread.
