[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 868792, member: 5412"] We have all discussed the merits/shortcomings of using any kind of shot in our self defense shotguns, as that at ranges in the house, the shot will not expand much more than 2". I bought a Taurus Judge and did a field report on it. I noticed that at 3-7 yds it had a large pattern, which is the range inside of a home. I have to assume that it is because of the rifling making the shot sling outside of its normal pattern. I don't have a rifled barrel for any of my shotguns, but I think it would be a great experiment to see what the pattern at 3-7 yds using a rifled barrel would be vs a smoothbore using the same load? Anybody out there willing to shoot a couple of rounds, and give us a field report? If it works out the way I suspect, we may have found a new SD for use inside the home. Large pattern, at short range:D [/QUOTE]
