Wanted some opinions. I live in a new cookie cutter home in a subdivision. Its a nicer subdivision but its not the quality of the older brick ranches or anything.
I have neighbors on both sides with little children plus a child of my own. My walls are sheet rock. Prob 1/2 inch.
I have a 870 with 18.5 inch barrell for HD. I had it in the safe with OO buck. The more I read on the internet i decided this prob wasn't the best with the possibility of wall penetration and children in the way for a stray pellet.
I had a few guys tell me to use #4 shot turkey loads. So I got some winchester 2 3/4 turkey loads. 1300 fps and 1.5 ounce shot.
I also saw some 25.00 a box HD ammo at dicks but it was made up of #2 and #4 shot. decided that can't be much better than my turkey loads.
I also saw on the web guys saying #4 buck shot.
Will my turkey loads do the job? Killing power with minimal wall penetration is my objective.
