Correct answer: because #0 Buck (.32 caliber) at 45 yards arguably all the way down to #2 Shot (.15 caliber) at less than 15 yards is actually more effective -- higher liklihood of hits, and more of them, with required penetration.

I KNOW it is just easier to say "umm, 00 Buck" than understand power, range, penetration, wound channels and stopping capability.
