Our 870 loadout was 00 buck, slug, 00, slug 00, and two more boxes of each in the trunk.This guy convinced me that buckshot is the way to go. I previously was always a fan of larger shot like 4 or 5s but looks like I was wrong.
Thoughts?

Side note - I did find it comical when he said "the first time I ever shot someone". What the heck?
Last time I checked it is in the Navy for MAs and 9545 personnel. Was in Florida and Washington, but that's been almost 30 years ago.Our 870 loadout was 00 buck, slug, 00, slug 00, and two more boxes of each in the trunk.
Something neat in shotgun range class we learned how to bounce shoot off of a concrete wall and under a car. I never knew bullets would follow the wall or ground about 6 inches when shot on a hard flat surface. If someone is hiding behind a vehicle shooting at you, you can shoot buckshot about 10 to 15 feet on the ground before the vehicle and take out his legs.
I don't know if that is still taught or not.
Ultimately, within a room, any shell in a shotgun is going to ruin a persons day. However buckshot is a destructive beauty, slugs…(why not just use a rifle then?) and birdshot, Id use turkey shot or goose/duck loads in a house if its all I had. No matter what a defensive shooting in close quarters or at distance is the same, shoot target, repeat until desired effect on target is achieved.This guy convinced me that buckshot is the way to go.
