From the foot of my bed to the entry of my bedroom is 24' (closer to 30' where I store my shotgun). I use 5 rounds of 00 buck for the tighter pattern at that distance. The last 4 rounds are #4 shot with the thought of pursuit and CQC throughout the house. I have a 9 rd. Mossie 500 Persuader.
I feel this is the most effective combo of loads for most scenarios and how we practice. Hope I never need to put my theory to the test.
