Low recoil and convenience are why I just order RST untralight 2 1/2" shells by the case for my vintage doubles. There's no better shell out there that I know of in terms of lethal patterns, low pressure and mild recoil to protect century old barrels and stocks from damage. My only complaint with the RSTs is that they do seem to leave significantly more fouling in the bores than standard shot shells, but a little more cleaning after shooting is a small price to pay for all the benefits they deliver. Plus, I just think there's something cool about shooting those 2 1/2" shells in an original 2 1/2" chamber. It somehow seems to add to the experience.
