For smooth bore shotguns...I like Federal's Tru-Ball slugs, intended for smooth bores. I would prefer to use cylinder or improved cylinder, for home defense buckshot loads --- preferably the Federal Low-Recoil Flite-Control Wads --- with the 9 pellet 00 Buck in 12 gauge or the better hitting #4 Buck {27 pellets}. If you want less penetration thru dry wall, #4 birdshot is effective at close range.
You will tear away the 4 pedal's of Federal's Flite-Control Wads, with certain muzzle brakes that have openings on the side.
I bagged my 21 pound, 10" bearded gobbler --- on Maryland's first spring turkey season day this year --- with a single 3 inch, 12 gauge Hevi-Shot load, using a combination of 5,6 & #7 shot, with a Hevi-Shot Turkey choke tube.
