An argument here concerning someone shooting a 12 g shotgun at a

What about slugs?

I wouldn't bet against a slug going through just about any boat. We
had a junk car we used to shoot at in the garbage dump/range where we
shot as a kid *If you didn't hit something solid a slug would go in
one door and out the other side of the car. The seat back did a fairly
good job of stopping the slug,after going through the door, until it
came apart.

Standard powder load or load yourself?

I found a website called "The box of truth " or the "Truthbox" or
something like that where they actually did tests like this by firing
into a box that had various stopping materials. At 30', the 00 shot
penetrated nearly everything. However, I am talking about 300' where
I assume the shot is going much slower.
