candy cane loads are not smart...
Shortshot Tony explains why alternating buckshot and slugs ('candy cane loads') in a shotgun magazine is an ineffective defensive strategy. He demonstrates buckshot's immediate tissue damage and argues that slugs following buckshot are redundant, often passing through the same wound channel. Tony advises sticking to consistent loads like all buckshot for general use and keeping slugs on a side saddle for specific long-range needs.
