I like the reduced recoil, but I also like the magnum rounds! A magnum round being shot in close quarters like that will sound like a 16" gun from a battleship!!!! Anyone left alive will be out the door before your hearing comes back!!!!
I have shot the Fiocchi Low Recoil and they shoot the same as any other low recoil but their shot is nickel plated which has its advantages over standard unplated shot. I haven't been able to find ANY, at the gunshow or stores, Fiocchi Low recoil buckshot since I went through 3 boxes of 10 months ago for fun. Now I have a box(25) of Winchester Ranger Low Recoil 8 pellet 00 buckshot 2.75" as well as 3" magnum 000 buck loaded already in my 870.
