Do your stages require buck and slugs? Not all matches call for it, and some may not let you use them. But if you do need them... Rio Royal LR 00 buck is decent and relatively cheap but doesn't have the best patterns around. If you want good patterns, most report excellent patterns with Federal Law Enforcement LR 00 Buck, either the LE132 or LE133 loads. I like Federal TruBall Low Recoil Slugs, load PB127LRS. These patterned well out of my SX2 with an IC choke. For practice, you might want a cheaper slug like the Winchester Super-X slugs from Wal-Mart. As always, YMMV. Pattern your loads in your gun using a variety of chokes. |

I can tell what not to use.
Our range just went green so we had to use Fed 00 buck. Frangible green stuff. Man we cant keep the pattern on a man sized target at 25 yds. |

I don't have any specific recommendations but I like to use Remington Slugs and Federal Buckshot. That gives me two different hull colors so I know green is slug and maroon is buck. Makes is quick to tell what you're grabbing to load.

Both are low recoil rounds and are frequently regarded as some of the best of their types. I just recently picked up a bunch of each and will be soon patterning my 870's with them. |

I had pretty good luck with speer lawman I picked up at a gunshow, rather affordable. Never shot it past 5-7 yards so I can't say how well it grouped.

I really like 2 types of 00 Buck.
Fiocchi Nickel-plated 12-ga. 2 3/4" 9-pellet Low Recoil No. 00 Buck Shot 
And RBLR129 Low Recoil Royal Buck 2 3/4" 9 pellet 00 buck 
The Fiocchi comes in a Box of 10, the Royal in boxes of 5. I am lucky enough to get both fairly cheap. If you need to do some practice, I dont think you can beat these. |
