Every shotgun is different, with different brands and types of shells.

The only reliable way, is to try out various brands or types of ammo to see what YOUR shotgun does.

Too many variables to factor in. What choke is installed? What is the barrel choked at if it doesn't have screw-in chokes? What barrel length? What distance? What size of shot? Ect.

I’ve shot about ten different brands of 2-3/4”, 00, 9 pellet buckshot at 7 yards.

If you intend to shoot longer distances, say 30 or 40 yards for deer or coyotes, please do your homework.
