    i tested both. at 50 yards the low recoil grouped a bit tighter than the full power. the low recoil put all buckshot well within the standard poster board. the full power had one buckshot miss the board and much bigger spread.

    that video shows full power buck penetrating about 2 inches more landing at 16". low recoil lands at 14".

    this is for shtf yard work. which flite control would you pick?

    **i have rifle options but have neighbors**

    I have tested all of the FC loadings from my shotguns, and the #1 FC seems to work best for tightness of patterns. YMMV for sure. I'd use whatever grouped the tightest AND had the least fliers.

    Supposedly the low recoil stuff is more lethal because it transfers more of the energy of The Buckshot to the Target vs blasting straight through it your mileage may vary :-)
