I saw a video on YouTube today. It was a test of shot loads through two drywall walls, the same with a chunk of pork ahead of it, and another with the drywall and ballistics gel behind it.
He fired with #4 buck and #8 bird.
End result was the bird destroyed the pork at 10 yards but didn't penetrate all the drywall. The buck penetrated all.
The birdshot penetrated the walls and penetrated the fell about 5".
Makes me wonder about using birdshot as a HD round...

I saw that too. If you have family or friends on the other sides of walls that are drywall and in the line of fire it's a good choice. I don't so I worry more about the effectiveness at a distance but for Close Quarters, hell yeah
