Next to my bed is my old Model 97 12 gauge loaded with a new ammo I bought. It is a single .65 diameter ball surrounded with six .25 diameter balls all neatly packed in a special sabot.
Never fired the stuff yet, but it sure looks like it will make a mess of whatever is downrange.

That looks pretty nasty. What does a box run? How many rounds in a box?
On future weapons he was showing an automatic 12 ga that has a 40 rounds drum. He used number two at two hundred yards and it destroyed the target, a 4’x8’ piece of plywood.

I strongly recommend putting a box or two down-range, so that you will know:
1) that it functions in your shotgun
2) how it shoots (relative to point of aim)
3) felt recoil from that load.
"Buck and Ball" was a popular military and militia load in the early 1800s, still in use into the War Between the States.

I think, at least for my purposes, that you don't need anything larger than a #4s inside your house. In fact 6s and 7 1/2s are fine under 15 yards and they will not over penetrate your wall and go into your neighbors home. I have fired many rounds through sandwitches of drywall and insulation at the range and bird shot is devastating at close range but keeps down incidental damages.

I have that,it threw a pretty good patten at 30 yards out of a mossburg 500a riot gun (18 inch barrel) plus the .65 ball made a hole in the 3/8 plyboard just slightly bigger the a pencil,with four #1 buckshot within 12 inch's of the hole
like my uncle said it will make for one hell of a oozey corpse
