So far I've had best luck (as far as patterning on cardboard) with the top-of-the-line Federal Premium law enforcement buckshot. Groups into 3 inch square at 15 yards with a 20-inch barrel - that's the equivalent of NINE .32-caliber bullets moving at 1300 fps muzzle velocity (find me a .32 that will do that) all at the same time .... you ain't gettin up from that.
I'll find you a .30 handgun round that will beat that - 7.62x25 Tokarev. They push upwards of 1700fps.

More on topic, I don't really care for weird and expensive gimmick rounds. I keep Winchester Supreme 3" 00 Buck (12 pellets, 1400fps) in my HD shotty. They run $10 per box of 5. I keep both 2 3/4" and 3" slugs around, as well as other varieties of buckshot. Spread is irrelevant at any distance in our apartment, and practice with the shotgun is generally done with Estate 2 3/4" #4 Buck, as it's a good and inexpensive alternative for practice.
