What size shot patterns do you get with federal flight control?

[Super-Dave]

I am wanting to know what size shot patterns will most people get with 00 buck 9 pellet federal flight control at 50 yards?

Also does the 8 pellet 00 buck flight control have tighter patterns?

[zippy13]

It varies with the specific gun/choke. What's important is what you'll get. How about getting some, shooting it and reporting back to us with your results?

[Super-Dave]

I dont get a chance to go to the range often. Also money is an issue. I was under the impression that flightcontrol gave the tightest groups reguardless of shotgun used.

If this is not true what all name brands do yall recomend me test for tight 50 yard groups?

I think you'll find the Box O Truth's testing will give you the answers you're looking for:

no it did not help. He only tested 4 types of shot.

Also he uses federal flight control with an improved cyinder choke. I have heard you get a tighter group with flight control with an open cylinder.

Dave,

Haven't patterned it at 50 yards- by 50 I'm switching to slugs. At 25 yards/75 feet out of my favorite 18 1/8" CYL bore 870 Police barrel, I get 4" patterns. That's with Federal LE127-00 ( http://www.ammoman.com/index.htm , 250 rounds for $249 delivered right now).

so If I am using an open cylinder Bore I should be able to get less than 15" spread at 50 yards with federal flight control?

What are you looking to do with this? Hunting, HD, ????????

[Super-Dave]

Neither, I am curious what buckshot can do less than 20" spread at 50 yards.

[oneounceload]

You have no purpose or idea what you want these to do? Then go buy a variety and try them

[BigJimP]

Come on S-D buy them and test them .....and let us know what you think ...

I'll barely eat or sleep until I know ....:rolleyes:

Combine this thread with your "Why does everyone want tighter buck shot groups?" and "Can you explain federal flight control to me?" threads, and it seems you have more than just a curiosity, it appears you've got a fifty-yard fetish.

Most folks test their patterns at 40-yards or less. That's why I suggested, in my first response, that you do your own testing.
