Title: Federal Premium Grand Slam vs Flite Control
Post by: SCDieselDawg on April 11, 2013, 12:54:01 PM
Shot some 3.5" 2oz #5s in my Moss. 935 this morning to solve a curiosity.

Grand Slams- 78
Flite Controls- 92

Both were shot through a .690 JellyHead at 40 yds. Barrel does need to be deep cleaned but that'll have to wait till seasons over. May also try another choke also. Open to suggestions on improving the pattern.

What choke are you using, and has your barrel been polished?

Not polished. But that's gonna be on the to do list during the offseason.  Choke is a .690 JellyHead. May try something tighter.

Try a stardot, should get ya 120-130's, with 5's .

All six 835's and 2 935's  we used to shoot did at least this.  Some did above 110's with the 4's.

Grand Slams that is.  3 1/2"

I swapped the JH out for a .670 Kicks GT. if I remember correctly it put up mid 140s with the Grand Slam 5s and just this week 115 with Win. Double X #4s.

In the 835 I picked up last month I'm running a SSX that put up 140s with Win. Double X HV 5s and 6s

I'm done fooling with the FCWs as well as HTL. Now that both my Mossys are shooting either Winch. Or non FCW Federals I'm satisfied.
