    The 870 is cylinder bore and the Benelli is running a SK or IC choke depending on the load.

    I've patterned the Winchester and Federal loads out of a Beretta 1301 Comp and a TX-4. At 10 yards, the Federal shot into 2" and 1" respectively. The Winchester #1 load did 8" out of both guns at 10 yards. Also shot the Federal #1 out of a Benelli Nova and a Browning A-5 with Vang choke. It did 2" out of both those guns at 10 yards as well.
    At 20 yards, the Federal #1 ranged from 4" to 9" with the largest pattern out of the A-5. The Berettas did 4" and 5" respectively. I shot the 1301 Comp at 30 yards and got a 12" pattern with the Federal.

    I didn't try the Winchester load at 20 yards.

    Haven't tried the Remington load.

    The first indication a bad guy should have that I'm dangerous is when his

    Just stopped at the Federal Booth at #NRAAM , and asked about the supply.

    I was told that they were having issues with flyers, and that they needed to redesign the Flite Control Wad for #1 Buck, and that they pulled it completely until that was done. He said even Law Enforcement won't be able to get more until that was done.

    Good to know - thanks for sharing that tidbit.
    There sure will be some pent-up demand to satisfy when it becomes available again.

    I said this over a year ago. Very erratic performance, and fliers.

    Nah, but I do take credit for asking Jeff Hoffman to consider neck sealant on their Barnes and GMX rifle loadings a few years back. Very happy about that!

    I did notice that the FC wads are now red...didn't know if that was a signal of some sort of significant change or not, or possibly a way to distinguish between possible different wads in future production.
