I chose "other" because it can vary some by gun. If 00 buck patterns like crap out of your gun but #4 buck tears a wicked hole then #4 is right for you. In general I prefer 00 buck, but I've seen a couple shotguns that strung all kinds of weird patterns with it, even at across-the-room range. Of course it depends on the load too. Not all shotgun shells are created equal...

While I'm at it, some shooters can't handle a 12 at all, so then...

Okay, I'll stop now. ;) You see where all this is headed.

When in doubt, 00 buck is my choice, but I'd recommend spending an hour with the patterning board and a few boxes of shells... YMMV.
