Went up to Burrow today and pattern tested 5 common buckshot loads from my 870. Used a 18.5" fixed MODIFIED choke brl this time.
18.5" fix Modified choke brl at 25-yards
Federal "Flight Control" LE 133 00 8-Pellet 00 Buck 8.5"
Federal "Tactical" LE 133 00 8-Pellet 00 Buck 13.75"
Federal "Classic" F 127 00 (Max) 9-Pellet 00 Buck 20.5"
Federal "Classic" F127 1B 16-Pellet 00 Buck 32.75"
Winchester "Ranger" Reduced Recoil 9-Pellet 00 Buck. 14"
No surprises, "flight control" buckshot continues to impress. Can also see why Federal discontinued F127 1B.
