Now, before anyone hollers "foul",
I was trying to place the shot in the same
place as with the AR15.
The low pellets were not "planned".
That is the problem with a shotgun; it is
not "precise".
I tried again with a load of #1 Buck.
This one had an ugly hole that I am pointing
to.
I found that it was made by the shot cup.
Lessons learned:
1. Sometimes, a 1/2 head shot is all you will
have. You must be able to take the shot.
2. A Rifle is the best weapon to make precise
shots.
3. A Rifle is much more powerful than a handgun,
and much more precise than a shotgun.
4. If you know that you will have to fight,
as Clint says, "Bring a rifle. Bring
several friends with rifles. If a rifle is
not available, bring a shotgun loaded with
00 Buck. If a shotgun is not available, bring
a handgun, one that the caliber starts with
at least a '4'."
5. "Pray and spray" won't cut it.
You must be able to place precise shots under
stress.
