In addition to the Federal Flite Control load Mavracer mentioned, Hornady's Critical Defense eight pellet 00 12 gauge load uses a Flite control style wad.

Mavracer, that sounds like an honest 40 yard performer. I'll have to buy and pattern some of this stuff. It would have filled a tag with a nice buck 2 years ago, one I had to let walk due to the limitations of my ammo at that distance.

On a side note, I've long toyed with the idea of a monster muzzle loaded shotgun, capable of firing an 18 pellet charge of .451 round ball. This Flite-Control stuff makes it somewhat (more) obsolete, but I'll get around to it one of these days anyway.

Yep ever bit of that, I still question their use on big boars but whitetails and two legged snakes for sure.
