This.
I've seen exactly one gun that shot 9 pellet better than 8 and it wasn't spectacular with either.
In the 1301 performance of 8 pellet fight control ranges from good to amazing:
This client in a JDC class last year had purchased an LTT 1301 and was using 8 pellet Federal Flight Control with it. We shot at 10, 15, and 25 yards. What you see in that target is the combination of all those patterns. At 25 yards his pattern was still so tight that pellets didn't leave the 9 ring of a B8 target.

+1. Not a 1301, but the 8 pellet works better in my 870 and 590A1.
Looking for anti-coyote shotshells I've seen they use FliteControl for some 3" and 3.5" 00B coyote loads. Big payloads, 12 pellets and 15 respectively.

Hornady has a #4 with the Versa-tite wad marketed as a varmint load, as well as a more expensive 00 3” load.
I have a Benelli Nova that really likes the 9 pellet Federal Flite Control. As a general rule, the Federal 8 pellet load shoots a little tighter for me.
The first indication a bad guy should have that I'm dangerous is when his
disembodied soul is looking down at his own corpse wondering what happened.
Any felt recoil difference between the 9 and 8 pellet loads?
Not that I’ve noticed.
8 pellet #00 available currently.
