Notes on Each Gauge:

  1. 12 Gauge: Best suited for moderate to heavy deterrent loads due to its higher capacity for both powder and particle loads, making it effective at longer ranges.
  2. 16 Gauge: A versatile option that offers a good balance between spread and range. Common in European hunting and bird deterrent contexts.
  3. 20 Gauge: Known for being lighter and easier to handle, making it suitable for closer-range deterrent applications.
  4. 28 Gauge: Ideal for short-range deterrent due to its lower recoil and capacity, typically for distances under 30 meters.

Important Considerations

  • Testing and Customization: Load performance can vary based on powder type, shell type, and even environmental conditions. Testing in a controlled environment is essential.
  • Safety First: Always consult a reloading manual and verify with experts, especially when using alternative materials like fine iron particles.

This table serves as a starting point; precise adjustments may be necessary depending on the equipment and specific needs. For more details on load specifications, consult reputable reloading sources or professional guidance.
