Defense: whatever 00 buck patterns best. Right now, it's Remington 8 pellet reduced recoil. I also have some Federal standard load flitecontrol but I haven't patterned it yet.
Range: whatever is cheap and safe. For pumps, birdshot works for practicing basics of sighting, form, and handling (think reloading while staying on target). Run some buckshot as well just to be sure your technique holds up with full-power loads.
