Home Defense Ammo - PDX1 vs 00 Buckshot

The ammunition in the OP shows buffered shot in the PDX1 vs. a standard shell, that makes a lot of difference.

I'd be a bit concerned with overpenetration with that PDX1, especially with home defense. Try utilizing the Federal Personal Defense ammunition, with the flitecontrol wad. The videos below show the difference in the grouping.



 
The pdx load seems to be more against large animal threat than human. I could see it could work well against bear.
For the slug part, possibly, but certainly not for the 3 #00 buckshot.

For my money, I'd rather go with the Brenneke Black Magic Magnum that I saw at the SHOT show a few years back. Though because it is a sabbot round, you will need a rifled bore.
