I can get loads of 12 gauge buckshot in either #4buck or #00buck.
Which would serve better in a socially perverse situation?

Inside buildings plain ol bird shot has its place.
As far as your choices, there is not a bad choice with either.
I would lean #00 for a little more reach, #4 sure fills a few more holes in a pattern.

I like #2 myself but that is me.

#4. It will disable anything that you encounter inside your house and it won't shoot through most walls, endangering anyone who happens to be in an adjacent room.

Hell, Cheney couldn't kill a 78 year old man by shooting him in the face with birdshot, might be a moral in there.
I'll stick with the big stuff. Not looking to try to get small stuff through 3 layers of clothing and heavy winter jackets.

I can get loads of 12 gauge buckshot in either #4buck or #00buck.
Which would serve better in a socially perverse situation? Depends on what your rig likes.. For 00, my 870 like Federal Low Recoil.. But I'm currently running #4 for multiple needs around the Rancho.
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

#4 buck is amazing. Think 27 simultaneous hits from a 22LR. Sort of.
Be not weary in well doing.

#4
Has all of the reach one needs for social intercourse, will pattern better, etc, etc.

Social work is a general term.
Social work inside the home ? around the home in the yard ? in the streets ? in the timber ?

The Federal Bureau of Prisons uses #4. That's what I trained with so that's what I have on hand.

I'll stick with the big stuff. Not looking to try to get small stuff through 3 layers of clothing and heavy winter jackets. Moral: Lawyers never kill each other as they eschew having to learn the strengths and weaknesses of new opponents. Maiming is considered socially acceptable. 20 bore #3 buck: 2-3/4" will mostly penetrate thru and thru on a 250# hog on a broadside shot inside of 30 yards. Bone will stop them, flesh won't.

shoot a 2x4 with a load of #4 buck, then a load of 00, and see the difference.
