First shot, 00 buck. Second shot, 00 buck. There's a pattern here...
(At 15 yards the pattern is about as big as a softball, that's the important pattern.)
I’m partial to Federal with flight control wad, I’ll probably start stocking it in very near future.

Birdshot is for birds. Buckshot is for bad guys.
First 2 rounds out of the tube...#6 high brass...shoot them in the face, instant blindness...now they can't see you to attack...next round out of the tube low recoil 00 buck...Low recoil allows for a faster follow up shot...If multiple attackers each get a #6 to the face and 00 buck to center mass...I am not leaving anyone alive...I only want one side of the story told to the police...OH...and I don't call 911 for at least 10 minutes so they get a chance to bleed out...
Hence the "take it for what it's worth" clause. You want to use buckshot, feel free. I just put the video to show close range use of birdshot if that was all you had. No dog in the fight.
Q
I keep bird shot in one mag tube of my DP12 and 00 in the other. Rack once, fire twice, once with bird shot, the next with 00. Bird shot to the face, 00 to the body is what I practice. Hope I never have to do it in real life though.

Seriously? Ever read case studies on the terminal ballistics of birdshot? I’d rather have a .25 ACP. I don’t think this is a sound strategy.
I would grab my Tactical over and under. I’d run at the guy yelling “Go O’s”. At the last minute, I’d jump, doing a flying somersault. When I was directly above the guy BOOM, the upper barrel will be discharged, removing the perps right ear and disabling is right shoulder so he drops his weapon. (In the event he’s left handed, I go the opposite way). I would complete my somersault, going horizontally into the opposite wall, and sliding between the perps legs. The lower barrel is then discharged into the perps crotch, with some of the spray going into the perps eyes, blinding him. This, with my shotgun in my right hand, because my left will catch his dropped firearm before it hits the floor. I will then discharge the firearm into the rectum of the perp, effectively neutralizing him.
Then I’m gonna eat a grilled cheese sammich.
