I posted this in the 1301 thread… probably should have put it here:
Really enjoying my new 1301. Completely stock.
Still breaking it in and experimenting with different loads.
Found one today at the local sporting goods store: Hornady black 00 8 pellet. It’s not reduced recoil but it honestly wasn’t bad.
Here it is at 25 yards: Red is 9 pellet flight control. Black is the Hornady.
It wasn’t as tight as FC at 7 and 10 and 15 yards. But it was still very tight and pretty comparable.
I’m running out of FC and this may be a good available substitution. I’ll have to get some more and keep testing.
Thought this load may be useful to others here (I missed if already discussed). If you have experience with it please leave some feedback.
