Since we are bench racing the ever living hell out of things, what if that single pellet or three that you're counting on saving your "hit percentage" runs in to IIIA soft armor instead of flesh?? If that's the case, you're going to need to shoot again.
The carbine in 5.56 is faster for follow-up shots with full power ammo, in my experience. It also defeats soft armor.
That being said, I also have a 12ga with 9 pellet 00buck in it -- but practice so that my main shot group is as shown above in the target. I'm not counting on "getting lucky", because when the SHTF in my house and involves a gun fight, I don't think I want to count on good luck being with me.

than one's fear. The timid presume it is lack of fear that allows the brave to act when the timid do not."
