[QUOTE="Old rookie, post: 2894933, member: 40977"] I've (perhaps wrongly) always felt that more of something bigger hitting something you want to stop is better. Ex: Carpet bombing....WW2... B29's carried lots more and larger bombs than the B-17's, so...they were pretty much exclusively used when they became available in theatre. Some will say it's an apples/oranges comparison, but I think the principle is true, even in shotgun loads. The differences that have been discussed are pretty significant, because we're talking about a finite amount of force moving the pellets....with lots of variables. Those things being considered, the evidence of concentration of mass/impact area with the #1 shot is pretty impressive. The analogy that came to my feeble mind about it was "do you want to get hit with a 90 mph billiard ball or a 90 mph marble?" Great discussion, folks, and I appreciate all the perspectives. [/QUOTE]
