Shot package hands down is better.
Rangefinder increases the range at which your projectiles do max damage by a certain percentage, but due to how shotguns work, the pellets spread out further due to the increased range, meaning there is less chance that the number of pellets you need to be on target to get a 1 shot kill actually hit your target.
Shot package is like a shotgun choke in that it concentrates the pattern of your pellets into a tighter grouping at any given range than you would get from the very same shotgun without shot package. Even though you do not get a range extension like range finder, what shot package does guarantee is that more of your pellets will actually land on your target, increasing the likelihood that you will inflict maximum damage and/or get a 1 shot kill. This is absolutely devastating when you combine shot package with high-impact shotguns.

I love them both. I have beast shotguns for both range finder and shit package. The thing that most forget is that by the time the pellets have spread to the point of missing, it's really not shotgun range. My preference is shot package on most. I also love range finder.......

That is why this forum is here so players can debate! My personal experience with rangefinder for shotgun is that it cannot compete with shot package. If you look at the spread patterns by shooting the gun at a wall at the same distance, IMO it becomes quite clear that shot package lets you put more metal to your opponent. Perhaps it is because of the shotguns I am using. I have heard that rangefinder does work better for intermediate shotguns that do not have as high impact, but have a faster rate of fire. I have never tested this out though. My shotgun experience has been limited to PVE shotguns like swordbreaker and found verdict, and also to shotguns like her courtesy and party crasher.
