here is a comparison for ya. both were fired from 20yds off hand and both were 181/2 barrels. first pic is from my 870 with a vang system. can't figure out what is with the two flyers, i get em all the time.
 this one just has an improved choke  |

#4 is too small, doesn't have enough momentum in the individual pellets for good penetration.
Try a different type of buckshot, TAP at that distance out of my VangComp patterns as the fist of death. |

I may be wrong, but from the tests I have seen #4 penetrates well into vital organ area and beyond. |

In regards to #4 I based that statement on the tests I had read, so maybe we just read competing resources? My opinion(and I stress opinion, as I dont shoot things for a living) is that at the increased ranges 00 will hold more energy that 4. At close ranges, 10 yards and under, probably no significant difference.
I get Hornady TAP at the local gun store, online is available at Boses Guns Hornady pattern at 55 ft from VangComp  You can cover 7 of those pellets with your fist... ouch... |

I thought this thread was about the convicted murdering Hmoung from Minnesota. I thought that you were contemplating "going Vang"- as in wiping out an entire hunting party in cold blood with an SKS.
I've thought about having one of my shotgun barrels modified. At this point, I'm concentrating on tricking out my AR-180B with a rail system with lights, laser, etc. If the SHTF, and I'm using my shotgun, then the world has truly gone to hell. Then I may have to "go Vang" on somebody. |

That is a decent pattern at the stated distance. I've been contemplating picking up some T.A.P. for my 870. I think I'll try some out next range trip.

+1 on the Box O' Truth shotgun testing. I read it a couple of months ago and confirmed by suspcion that #4 was not much of a man stopper. It's reduced recoil 00Buck for my HD load.

I think I got this link from someone on this forum, shows shotgun loads shot into balistic gel, the 00 penetrated 21in, whereas the #4 went 15.5in, granted, not as deep as the 00, but plenty deep to get to vital organs. 21in is pretty thick for an average person, bones notwithstanding, this would almost blow out the back. Also, how does sheetrock compare to human flesh and tissue? I would thing the gel would be a more accurate testing tool when human targets are concerned. Not that this has anything to do with anything, but have yall checked out the Winchester XX Supreme X-press 3 1/2 #4 buck? I think its something like 57 pellets, to bad my 1300 wont chamber anything over 4in  gel testing |

I have no experience nor any references to back up this thought, but what is the penetration difference between regular Vs reduced recoil buckshot? |

Thank you. I appreciate the reply. I'm doing some testing and patterning myself. Since Mr. Vang is da man! I use him as a benchmark. Thanks again! |
