    I'm in for 8 pellet 00 or #1 or whatever @LGChris can get. At least 2, probably 5 cases.
    Hokey religions and ancient lubricants are no match for a good Group IV PAO

    You can buy all but #1 readily right now. I prefer the 9 pellet load. Your gun will dictate. I hate giving up a pellet for nothing and the 8 and 9 both throw fliers at the same rate for my guns.

The CD round doesn't pattern anywhere near as good as FC out of my Benelli or 590A1. Both with cylinder barrels which is ideal for that wad. I think it's because of the extra velocity the wad separates faster. The Federal loads use shot buffer which helps too whereas the Hornady doesn't. I might have to find some of that TAP just to find out how close it gets to the FC.
    The Federal stuff is also copper plated,whereas the Hornady is plain lead.

    I think the buffering is the biggest issue, as well as the velocity/deformation associated with.

    I am aware of the availability and performance of 8 and 9 #00. I am, however, down for any group buy discounts.

    Unless the supplier chooses to eat their margins, there is no way Federal is making a concession for such a small order, but hey, I'm in, too, once the numbers are finalized if they look good. If a group buy on #1 buck is better than what it can be had at otherwise, then count me in.

    I wasn't aware of that (the Federal). Nice to know!
