It has been shot into calibrated ballistics gelatin. It meets or exceeds the FBI standards.

I recently patterned Federal Vital-Shock, 2 3/4" 12 ga. Magnum, 12 pellet 00, copper-plated (P156 00), because I'm almost all out of Federal #1 2 3/4" Magnum (no longer made). Pretty good pattern at 10 yards, which is about the longest reasonable shot inside my house. It opened up a bit at 20 yards. Out of my 20" Mossberg M590, cylinder bore:

Believe it or not it's very easy to completely miss your target shooting a shotgun with an extremely tight pattern.

It's easy to miss with a big pattern too but not as easy.

A shotgun is made for quick snap shots at running (or flying) targets. Turning it into a rifle with slugs or tight patterns negates that advantage.

For those with the Fed Flight control how is it holding up being loaded for long periods? I had some cheaper Rem and Win 00 that mushroomed after being loaded for a long period, say 6+ months. I changed to the gov't contract Win and have not seen any signs of this. It's an important detail as I want reliable feeding.

Using the important-sounding name "Remington HD Ultimate Home Defense Loads" does not make birdshot work any better.

No birdshot, let me repeat, NO BIRDSHOT will consistantly make the FBI minimum penetration standards.

None.

Use buckshot, #1 or 00.

Federal claims 14" of penetration in gel " made and stored to the FBI protocol" with PHC120BB which is high density tungsten BB.
The picture is on page 47 of this year's catalog.

I have seen it outpenetrate lead #4 buck with the comparison done in the same media.

And I have never seen testing done with Remington's High Density "T" shot either.

Nice coyote. But to prove your point, I'm curious as to the distance that was shot at and how wide your gun/load patterns at that distance, and what size shot you used. I'm assuming it was a running shot.

I have killed them from 5 yards out to 60 some running, some walking, some standing still. You do have to lead them when they're crossing at balls out speed.

And yes, I have missed from 5 yards to 60 and beyond...

My point is that you need a tight pattern to be effective at distances beyond your living room. I don't subscribe to the "magic" BB theory. I want pellets on target, especially at a distance where the energy is rapidly bleeding off.

Flight Control definately works for me with certain loads....
I'm pretty sure that one was killed with BB, as buckshot isn't legal here for yotes.
But just like home defense, a couple of pellets from a spread pattern will not reliably do the job. Only hits count.

ETA:

Here's a 10 yarder. The flight control wad was stuck in it's neck!

I agree, the tighter the pattern on the vital, the better the killing. But having a little bit of pattern spread willl be a little more forgiving on the aim and lead judgment. It just reduces the effective yardage.

The tightest pattern possible is not the ideal pattern for short distances, or else everybody would be shooting with a full choke all the time.

Even if you don't hit the vitals on the first shot, all those shot hitting the body will be breaking bones, slowing them down so you can throw another couple rounds into it.

While I may not be up to O_P standard, I'll give you my 2 cents.
that ammo is the same as the stuff you pickup at walmart in the 15 round packs for 8 bucks except for the green plastic and blackened brass. The ammo is buffered but uses fiber wadding and therefor the patterns open up quite quick. For the same or less money you can get much better ammo.
I'd rather die on my feet then live on my knees.

I came into this world kicking, screaming, and covered in somebody else's blood, and i have no problem going out that way.

I load mine with Federal Flight Control as well. I recently purchased the Hornady Tap with it's "flight control wad" and intend on trying it out this week.

If you can't find that, #00 Flite control buck


#1 buckshot is an on again off again thing around here.

I have some of the last Federal 3 1/2" mag in #1 on the planet. I wish they'd resume production. It patterned well in my Benelli.



They are making it again.

Federal's Flight Control #1 Buckshot

It is the "best of the best".

Hey O_P what do you think of this for a HD shotgun?



That load is a cheap, non-Flight Contriol Wad load. It is of fairly low quality.

Buy Federal FCW ammo, either #1 Buckshot or 00 Buckshot.

Cool, thanks for the responce.

The question is not really open to debate. It is settled fact.

#4 buckshot will sometimes fail to make the FBI minimum penetration standard.

Use buckshot larger than #4.

Unless I missed it Federal LE132-1B isn't on the Federal site and I'll be darned if I can find it using my prodigious Google foo.

I'm also waiting breathlessly for the Vltor Bren Ten, but that's another story.

Let us never forget, government has no resources of its own. Government can only give to us what it has previously taken from us.
