Very intersting article well stated on ballistics.
Having read both on success and failures of heavy birdshot stopping people I am not in total agreement but definatly a good article and makes complete sense.
Although I am a bit of a hypocrite since I do keep my shotguns loaded with 4buck myself.

And something for the OP to read.
I actually agree, I have a winchester defender and did have a major jam in the begining, having to take the gun apart to get the load out and I do not recall the personal smithing I did as that was 16 years ago. My biggest complaint with it is simply that without a forend pistol grip it will kick the action out, something I never liked but it has fired hundreds of rnds since I fixed it without any other failures. anyhow check this out.
