Dave,
> You've a handful of game loads, and two rounds of buck with you,left over from deer season.
Ok, your game loads will probably be usable out to what.... 15 yards, the 2 rounds of buck maybe 35 yards past where hits/appropriate wounding is questionable?
Yes the shotgun is a better weapon close in but my .454 will have longer range with a a higher wounding probability out to say 125 yards (given a steady rest (behind a downed log in ambush?). Better then the shotfun IMO.
Either way you are not really appropriately armed against rifles. But at least with an additional sidearm (i.e. 5 rounds of 300 grain FP) you stand a slightly better chance.
