i could see if you do a lot of trap or skeet or competition.reloading a 28ga with super cheap practice wads.

but for hunting,even low quality factory loads if you aim for the head of a bird 3 pellets should get the neck or head.shotgunning is not a pricise art form.
i could see maybe if your using a 12 or 10ga with a 3.5 inch chamber for 50 yard shots on duck,but for the average shot gun hunt factory should fine.
