In my Remington 870 I like 2-3/4" Magnum loads of 1.25 oz. BB-shot. I doubt that any intruder will know the difference from a shot inside the length of my house, but I don't have to worry about penetrating 2 or 3 walls with slugs or buckshot, neighbors sleeping in their beds, etc.

Any of the standard 2-3/4" or 3" magnum goose loads should do quite well for home defense.
