I just had to try it. 
Picked up 25 Winchester 3" steel BB shot (1550 fps!) shells and 15 Winchester 3" 15 pellet 00 buck shells. I just pleasantly surprised at the BB shot. It didn't kick as badly as I was bracing for.
However, 15 of those 3" 00 buck shells was all I wanted. Follow up shots were definitely hindered, as least for me. At first, it was a chore just to hang on to the forearm. I don't think a 20" Maverick is meant to be much of a deer hunting gun.
The BB shot rounds made a lasting impression (pun intended) on the 1/4 steel I was shooting at. I suspect they would make a pretty decent HD round, for the price. The 25 rounds of it only cost me $12. Take care. Tom Worthington.
