Please note: Due to low recoil, this product may not cycle all semi-automatic shotguns. With this in mind, I’m just not so sure that there is anything wrong with these low recoil LE slugs from Federal for home defense. Does the pattern remain consistent for multiple shots? It is not very good as a home defense shotgun ammo. Color me surprised about this choice. With a variety of loads, though, it can be confusing if you’re just starting out. You’ve seen me use measurements like 2.75-inches, and that’s because shotguns shells come in various sizes. Penetrated Rear Wall: N. The birdshot blew large holes in both the front and rear portions of our test wall. On top of this, we need to look at what a missed shot really does, A missed shot that penetrates a wall is a problem. Ultimately for inside the home, I want a pattern to be tighter than 10-inches at the max range. Remington is an industry leader in both firearms and ammunition manufacturing. //
