One Shotgun, Different Ammo for Each Situation

I have several bandoleers, each loaded with a different type of 12 GA round. I can grab the appropriate one if necessary. My shotgun is loaded with #1 Buck, with 00 Buck on the side saddle.

Inside the Home
Winchester Super-X #1 Buck 2 ¾” 16 pellets 1250fps
Will stop any intruder but less damage to your home

Outdoors
Hornady Critical Defense 00 Buck 2 ¾” 8 pellets 1600fps
Will stop anything that walks

Long range 200+ yards
Hornady SST Sabot Slugs 300 gr 2 ¾” 2000fps 2664 ft lbs
Will stop a ’56 Buick. Accurate at 200 yards or more. For distance far beyond normal shotgun range, you don’t need to go get a rifle if you have these. Will also take down deer, elk, moose.

For home defense, anything past 200 yards isn’t an imminent threat. If I am out in the mountains that is a different scenario, requiring perhaps a 300 WinMag.
