In my case the Remington Buck Hammer is what I load in my 870. However, when testing ammo, it was obvious I could dial in any one of three or more different brands. So I chose to shoot several test rounds to see where the holes were. Then I created an artificial zero where all brands would be extremely close, but none were dead on center. That way I could use any one of the brands I have on hand and any one of them would be good enough even though one in particular was not dead on center. The Buck Hammers were the closest and tightest. Winchesters, Lightfields, Federals, and even a couple more are all well within the vital zone even though they do not hit the same. There is an average equal error about a little high, a bit low, somewhat left or right, but any box I grab will work. Not the same in my highly accurate pin-point long distance Savage bolt gun. Hornady SST only is what I use in that setup and those rounds are dialed in to be exact on center.
