Good question Dave.
The role of buckshot in law enforcment is much different than the role in home defense.(kinda)
Buckshot of course must be patterned in each gun to determine how wide of a pattern and how consintric your scattergun is opening.this can be a tedious thing.many departments require officers to ck out a differnt shotgun everytime they go out on duty .depending on the size of the department a officer would have to know and remember how each and every shotgun in the department shot with buckshot and this can get very aggravating.
When shooting a single projectile from a shotgun(slugs) you have less accountability of stray rounds missing the target and going down range.lawyers just love this when it happens.
thus the billings tac round kinda gives you the best of both worlds,slug like accuracy with buckshot like results.
buckshot of course gives simultanious hits and less penetration than a slug but does not pattern very well in all shotguns.
will the billings round solve all the problems with the shotgun?
no.but it looks good so far.
you asked so i answered.
