It patterns very well out of my gun. I would advise people to be wary of 9 pellet the likelihood of fliers seems to go up substantially with the extra pellet.

    I have heard enough good things that I would buy a case #1 to try out.
    8 Pellet has as many/more fliers in my experience. It's buckshot. DO NOT TRUST IT if you need precision. Its performance is very variable. I've had #1 buck from the same gun, 2 shots in a row, 1 looked like a slug at 25 yards, and 1 had pellets outside of the 8" circle. You just cannot trust it. It's for targets where there is no serious consequence of a pellet coming off, or for when you literally do NOT have another option (not issued slugs, do what you gotta do, etc.)

    Just my .02

    I'm in for one case of 250 assuming the end price will be similar to the retail prices I've seen of 70-75 cents/round. Thanks for trying to get this off the ground Tom!

    I think federal will take notice when we reach the 250K round mark or so on our order.

    I hope that's not the magic number we need to reach. I don't see us getting more than 20K in purchases.

    Tom has his work cut out for him if he needs to re-ship 1000 cases of ammo.

    There are logistics companies that can handle this activity.....

    Possibly better.... If Federal shows any interest we could reach out to an ammo retailer like SGAmmo and see if they would be interested in joining. Maybe work a deal with them for distribution.....

    I just know the insane volume that LeVista moves, and for them to change their production line? Brother...I remember a while back on another site, someone tried to put together a group buy of 20,000 rounds of XM193, and ATK at the time didn't even give them the time of day...and that's a round they were actually making...
