I'm not a hater or a complete novice, but I certainly don't run as deep into the shotgun game as some of y'all do.
Recently, this got brought up to me for my opinion:
Experience leads me to believe this is pure gimmick with no redeeming factors. Primarily because:
- It loses the benefits of a slug due to the 3 pellets becoming errant and making this unsuitable for range...this first and foremost puts it out of the running for me. 1/2 the number of wound channels or less compared to a good buckshot round.
- While this is a guess, the pattern, accuracy, and/or velocity may have to suffer for all or some of these projectiles as we have learned that small things like loading (#pellets, type of buffer/cup, etc) seems to matter significantly.
Other than its probably more terminal that birdshot, any of you scatter-gunners got anything to say on its behalf before it gets the thumbs-down and dismissal as gimmicky bullshit?

S12PDX1 Defender Shotshell Ammo | Winchester Ammunition
The S12PDX1 Defender shotshell ammo features a black oxide high-base head and three pellets of Grex buffered 00 plated buckshot.
