It's hard to say which load would be best. Every barrel shoots differently and likes a specific cartridge. Some may like multiple cartridges and others will only like one or two.

I suggest trying something to sight in with and seeing how well you group them or how easy it is to get them on paper. Keeping in mind how you are sighting in.

If using a bench rest, your shots should be consistent provided your not anticipating the shot which will deflect or throw your shot.

Like others have stated above me nothing has been killed by a ballistics chart. If you use these as a controlled point of reference only to begin your selection then fine tune by shooting something your still having to shoot and find the best load or cartridge. Save your time.

Premium loads are not always the best loads.

Case & Point:

I recently purchased a brand new Benelli M2 Slug Gun for white tails in Iowa's shotgun season. Mounted a Leupold Ultimate Slam 2-7x33MM scope on it and went out with Winchester Dual Bond Premium Slugs.

I got on paper shooting on a calm day from a bench rest and sprayed them all over the paper. To the tune of 8 Boxes cooling the barrel as much as possible between shoots. Yes this was an all day affair. Left frustrated but with the understanding this barrel obviously does not like that load.

Went out a second time, this time with 4 boxes each of Hornady SST's and Federal Trophy Copper Core. No adjustments made to the setup, (ie scope, bench rest, or distance) Immediately shot tighter groups with the SST's and with fine tuning of the scope I was stacking holes on paper at 100 yrds. Began shooting the Federals they performed just as well. Now I have confirmed that I now have two loads I can be confident with at 100 yrds and one I know that is not compatible with my setup.

One can not simply say "save your money and buy the cheap stuff" just as much as one can not say "Premium is the only way to go". The only true way to know is to try something until you find what works best for you and your setup.

After you find the one that groups the best then start looking at the slugs if you are able to retrieve them and then look for the best looking for what you want to do.
