If that's what I had at the time, I'd use it, but it's not my first choice. The close range would likely do something to make up for the lighter shot, but I wouldn't count on that.

My home shotgun is loaded with 4 rounds of Remington No. 4 buck, with 5 rounds of CZ Double 0 buck (12 pellets, not 9 as in most standard loads) in reserve.
