Um, our bedroom must be tiny then, but its spacious to us. Maybe 16 feet 16 feet. Go shoot a dove load at 16 feet once... I'll pretty well guarantee a human won't be peppered...
Cops and military have guns set up for longer shots.
Actually if folks are saying buckshot is best for penetration, at 16 feet you could really just use a slug too.
My buckshot for deer and pigs, is not. birdshot, but the ranges are further. By far. Then I swap to 3 inch or better, #4 plated buck if possible, sometimes a hare bigger, typically no bigger than 1.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....
