There's a name for that, 'dutch loading' (because apparently this is something the dutch did), it's actually quite good if you can pull off a slug stun at range and close the distance to buck but it's very chancy.

I tried this strat when I first started playing CM, and quickly stopped using it. After a few engagements, you can never really be sure what the next round you’re going to fire is. You waste a lot of buckshot shooting at things more than three tiles away, or waste a PB on a slug. And to top it off, the two stuns don’t stack. You’re better off going all of one of the other.
