It's hard to find information on the load but I came across this:


The ballistics gel photo leaves out a lot of information that can be useful to determining its effectiveness. The video claims that they've tested it to be consistent with 12-16" of penetration in calibrated ballistics gel. The claimed purpose of the round is to maintain - or even enhance - the effectiveness of 00 buck while eliminating the overpentration problem that people are concerned about when missing their targets with 00 buck. I'm really curious to see at what depth the shot begins to fragment and how it patterns. If the retained weight is about half per fragment, you are getting 18 pellets of something with a weight comparable to #3 buckshot (26ish grams) but a diameter comparable to #1 birdshot (.16 inches). It should work in a defensive capacity, but it seems to fall into the "why?" category.
