I would ask what do you think OO wil do the #4 can't??
An indoor encounter with either will result in massive penetration of what ever it hits.
In a room where the shot is approx 20 ft max. Both loads will fit in a 3-4 inch circle.
Now if your chasing the perp down the street while he/she tries to get away in their 73 ford pinto,, THEN you need slugs. They will penetrate the length of the vehicle,, plus the perp..
Better yet,, If you shoot 2 boxes a month,, buy what you shoot,, rotate monthly..
Forget about that once in a life time hero shot at 3:37 AM on a dark and moonless nite while waring your Fred Flintstone jammies. Aint gonna happen...
