I have had some really bad experience with "low recoil" shotgun rounds. Keep in mind that "low recoil" also means "low velocity". This decrease in shotgun rounds is more pronounced in shotguns than rifles, as shotgun loads are very
heavy, not aerodynamic, and begin to spread and drop as soon as they leave the end of the muzzle.

If you are shooting paper or clay pigeons, this is not a big deal. However, living stuff that you might shoot with a shotgun sometimes needs to be hit hard, as it doesn't always know that it is supposed to die just because you pulled a trigger.

One other consideration: if you are shooting an autoloading shotgun, "low recoil" may give your gun a problem cycling. The result will be that you get one shot, then you get to work the action by hand. My Benelli will shoot light bird loads pretty well; my old Beretta really had problems with them.
