I tried the little buggers. They are expensive, don't cycle in an 870 and make less sense than the cheap Remington all purpose loads. I paid $7.99 for a box of 10, still have 4 of them. The Rem loads are $2.78 for a box of 20 on sale. Recoil is the same with both. Both use #8 shot. I had planned on using them in the Stoeger for around the house, but after firing them, I am left with a what's the point attitude. I'll keep the 4 unfired ones for a curio. FWIW, they only patterned fair, not much QC in the round. Lots of clumps and lots of holes at 50 feet. The Rem loads in the Stoeger are nice and full. The only thing going for the mini shells is noise. They are about 80% of a light load.
