I keep my Marlin loaded with .357 Magnum 148 grain hard cast wadcutters (real magnums, not target loads.) They cycle a lot smoother that SWC's, plus I can fit an extra round in the magazine. It will penetrate like the dickens though, so if you're worried about overpenetration it might be a bad choice.
How about loading the shotgun with something like #3 or #4 buckshot, or "high brass" turkey loads?
Better have earmuffs handy, and use them if you get a chance.
