Evaluating Hornady's Critical Defense, Standard-length 12 gauge #00 Buckshot Loads

In this video, we are evaluating Hornady Critical Defense with Hornady's Versatile Wad buckshot loads. This is a 12 gauge standard-length (2.75") shell with eight 00 Buckshot pellets moving at 1600 FPS. This load is intended for self-defense, but we want to know if it will work for light skinned big game hunting. We will be firing a 5-shot group at a 12-inch target from 30 yards to get a feel for the capabilities of this load.
