The federal 4-pellet load and 3-inch #4 buck load do use a shotcup and a flight control wad (if memory serves,also the '000' pellets are copper plated so that does toughen them up more than plain soft lead)

The full choke barrel works very well with #4 buck

but not with '000' or slugs (messes with the shot cup during exit and deforms slugs)
