I had used Fiocchi low recoil 00 buck in my Mav 88 for years. It patterned nice and was relatively inexpensive to practice with. A few weeks ago, a guy in the next lane from me was shooting Federal LE 132 9 pellet 00 buckshot from his Remington 870. I was astounded at the consistent 4-5" patterns he was getting at 25 yards. Needless to say, after seeing what Federal LE 13200 can do I have switched over to it as my HD loading.
