For LE I understand wanting a tight pattern...
For HD, I want a more open pattern. The load I prefer is a 12 pellet 00 Buck load that is about 100 FPS slower than typical 9 pellet loads... and patterns at 2, 4, 7, 11 and 15 inches at 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 feet. I expect the distance in a HD scenario to be less than 30 feet for sure. And all 12 pellets will reach the 12 inch penetration depth easily...
