Title: Federal Grand Slam
Post by: macaduna on April 03, 2020, 04:39:17 PM
Has anybody patterned these shells with the new flight control wad yet? I used to shoot the mag shock with the old wad but when I upgraded to an Indian Creek choke switched because you weren't supposed to shoot that wad through it. Curious how they'll match up to LBXR. Federal's website says they're safe shoot out of ported chokes but haven't seen anything from IC regarding the new wad. Looking for input. Thanks.

shot some today against Long Beard XR's both #5's.. I had TSS choke .650 in gun instead of what I use for Long Beards .660 choke and it didn't do to well at 40yds. I need to change chokes and shoot more to give you a honest answer.

Oddly enough I JUST tried them. Clicked this link to see if there were any comparisons. Hevi shot shoots best out of my gun for what I've tried and this was comparable. Some holes in the pattern but the density in my 10" circle was virtually the same. They're worth picking up a box and seeing how they work in my opinion. Remington 887 with Carlson choke.

They were my go to round back in the early 2000's with a Remington SuperMag combo'ed with a Star Dot choke tube but that was before the flight control wad system.

I cannot seem to find these anywhere at a reasonable price. Online is mostly sold out or pricey to pay S&H for just one box to pattern. Hoping after the season's over they'll be on the shelf so I can pattern them against Longbeard XR's.
