Ye Ol' Dale Towert's Stopping Power Page rates Federal Tactical 00 Buckshot at 96% out of 89 shootings (as per Marshall and Sanow).
I don't know if this is the same load I've gotten from my local dealer (the shell says 'Low Recoil' on it, not 'Tactical'), but I like this ammo. The big advantage for me is that the 'Low Recoil' ammo is loaded to 2&3/4 dram EQ, and the cheap trapshot I train with (sixteen dollars for 100 shotshells) is 3 dram EQ; so I actually practice with a hotter load than I use for defense.
Or, USED to. Lately, I've been using Federal Premium #1 buckshot for defense. I like a lot of pellets and I guess I just want my shotgun to 'Be All That It Can Be!' And as for recoil, I quote my wife: "Piece of cake!" Ah, my wife...
