Just as a point of reference I'll add my 0.02 on the Remington #4 buck.

I shot mine out of an 870 Express w/ 26" barrel and stock choke at only 7 yards. At that distance it made a very nice 6" circular pattern. All pellets stayed on the head of my target.

This was my HD round of choice until I tried the Winchester #1 buck which patterns just a little tighter at 10 yards. I like having something a little larger than the #4.
