A little advice regarding spread? The mfrs. all recommend 20 yard minimum for these shells, yet this doesn't seem right for salt which is even lighter than birdshot. I received some factory salt shells for Christmas and would possibly use them for non-lethal self-defense / house security. I have yet to try them. I also have concerns in regard to barrel damage and am considering and older weapon for their use. Having had first hand experience as a youngster I know they are a stopper, but I never saw how far behind me the shooter was.
Your opinions on minimum range for 20 gauge salt shot would be greatly appreciated.
