I can only tell you what works in my guns:

Rem870 12g. Hastings .665 non ported. 180-200 in a 10 @ 40

Beretta 20g Hevi 13 choke. 175 in a 10 @ 40

I shoot 3.5" HW7 through an 870 and I would start with a .655 Ballistic Specialties, then an unported .665 Undertaker, and I would try a Wrights.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

I would shoot HEVI 13 #7  in that 12ga.  For 20ga - Fed HW #7

X2 My 870 patterns great with Hevi 13 #7s and a Primos Jelly head .660 . If your set on the Fed heavyweights which I've used in my SBE 2. I had good luck with a Headhunter non ported tube from Rob Roberts.
