Thanks for the info. I was trying to not only increase the pellet count but to decrease over-penetration for typical HD distances and locations (i.e., less than ten yards with inner rooms seperated only by dry wall and with somewhat denser outter wall materials).

I'm trying to come up with a load that will give good penetration results (say, 12 to 15 inches or so) for targets with light to heavy clothing. This isn't to say that I expect dry wall to stop a pellet with that kind of penetration power, but I want to know that it isn't going to go through several of the rooms in my house, exit my house and end up in my neighbor's bedroom.
