After reading all of those penetration test articles, I am a bit hesitant in using a shotgun as home defense...especially since I have 3 other family members in the house.

Everyone goes back and forth on self-defense loads, but for target, just shoot whats cheap. I usually use Sellier and Bellot 00B, because it comes in packs of 25 shells for around $10...good ammo for fairly inexpensive. It beats buying those little packs of 5 shells for 6$, eff that.
