12ga SLUGS!
I do a shotgun match in the summer at my club and this year I wanted to make the slug stage on close bowling pins, for some fun blasting. So I did a little experimenting. I found they'd stay together and useful as targets from anywhere form 10-18 shots. Of course by 18 they were mostly empty husks of plastic. Fun as it might be, I decided to go with buckshot instead, I'll go through fewer pins that way for sure.
