Been shooting the Federals #7 in 3.5 for three years now, I average about 140 in a 10 inch circle at 40, usually 12-20 in the kill. Like others have said they hit like a freight train!

This seems low for a 3.5 inch 12 ga. You could be getting right up around 200 or slightly more.

Remember this is with 1 7/8 oz. (407 pellets) And with the good pattern that it throws and the punch that it packs I'm plenty satisfied with it.

Aren't you shooting that load thru an Invector Plus barrel??

Nope, through a 26 inch Remington Supermag barrel.

Federal has a 20 ga. 3" 1.5 oz. load and 12 ga. 3.5" 1 7/8 oz. load.  Dosen't make much sense to me.  If they came out with a 3.5" 2 1/4 oz. load they would sell a lot more 12 ga. ammo.
