Here is a link to a good website to educate your self on different loads for self defense.

I looked at the site, and I still think that a .410 with buckshot shot at normal self defense distance will really screw someone up. I know that I would not want to be on the receiving end of that. I would feel very comfortable using it for self defense, if the range was close. I think the average self defense shooting takes place at less than 7 feet. ( I don't remember the number exactly, but I am pretty sure it is right)
