    Yeah, I was aware of that, Blake. My suggestion was intended merely as another possible option.

    I wonder if someone could convince Hornady to offer a #1B option with their version of the Versatite wad.

    I can say from 1st hand experience that the Hornady doesn't shoot anything at all like the Federal. I suspect that it's because Hornady doesn't use shot buffer and Federal does use a buffer. I've tried both 00 Critical Defense and #4 buck Varmint Express. Hornady = No bueno in 2 different guns.

    @the Schwartz I use the equivalent Winchester load and it patterns pretty well out of my 590A1. Since the Remington is buffered I'd expect it to be similar. Midway used to have the Winchester in stock pretty regularly, but now only seem to have the 3" version available.

    Is the Winchester load buffered?

    Well, clearly you are an adverse influence on me...

    Found myself at the LGS this a.m. when I came across 12 boxes of the stuff priced at $3.88 each. Took them all. Now my wallet is forty bucks lighter.

    I've patterned the Remington Express #1 and Winchester Super-X #1 out of a 21" M1 and 18.5" 870. Patterns were 3 times the size even at 5-yards compared to the Federal load.
