9 pellet loads tend to recoil less than 12 pellet. Take a sample of each out to the range. I found that for me, 9 pellet loads give the best combination of firepower and follow-up shots. (I changed the recoil pan on my gun so I will have to retest that.) If you are using a SxS you generally might as well use 12 pellet loads since you only have two shots before reloading anyway.

No idea on the 000 load.
