[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 1440982, member: 5412"] This is correct. I've done some testing that showed even #6 shot will not penetrate the standard safety glasses our company issues, so if trying for a head shot, it may strip off some flesh, but will not blind the perp if they have safety glasses on. OK, I'll buy the argument that how many BGs are going to have on safety glasses, but my company issues them in prescription glasses that meet the safety requirments of osha, so its perceivable that a BG could have them on. Also if you want a bigger spread of your pattern, check out some of the "spreader wads" available to reloaders. they are designed to upset the shot when leaving the end of the barrel to create a bigger pattern at short distances. Originally designed for shotgun shooters that want to use a tight choked shotgun at close ranges. The Poly wads as described by dugby seem to be the favorite on shotgun world and other shotgun sites.
