Brian,
I get asked this question a lot, and unless you reload it's an expensive answer. The RST stuff is great and so is Kent TM but both are expensive to use in volume. I like #5 for ducks out of a full choke and #3 for geese out of the same.
The new Fiocchi (spelling?) Tundra shells should be double gun friendly but I don't know anybody who's tried them. The Heavy Shot Classic Doubles is obviously double gun friendly for sure, but by all reports doesn't seem to have much punch. A friend tried it out of a 20 gauge Model 11 Remington and it didn't even have enough oompah to work the action.
If you can find new old stock bismuth it's ok....
I never was a big fan of it to tell the truth, it was loaded sporadically to say the least. You'd shoot one shell and it would kick your head off then the next one would seem normal. That was kinda scary to say the least. The magnum 10 gauge stuff is so hot it will make your gun open up. I've had it happen to me with a Parker and seen it happen to Kaas when shooting his big Ithaca.
