You can put me in the fool catagory, I keep 7.5 shot as the first couple of rounds in my Charles Daly Honch 410 with a PDX as the final in the tube. Since the gun sits there with no expectation of use I don't put 5 rounds in it. I also don't have a room or hallway longer than 10 feet in the house so I don't have to worry about how much spread or power loss at 20 plus feet. If I need to reach out and touch someone from longer distances then I get a rifle or one of my 460 magnum revolvers that are loaded with 200 grain FTX's.
