I decided to check the pattern on new ammo I purchased a few weeks ago. It is Federal Premium 12 GA 2 3/4 00 8 Pellet LE 13300 Flitecontrol (I wrote 13200 on the target from memory, it is incorrect). I used a Remington 870 with an IC extended choke. I was impressed that the majority of pellets hit the torso. It wasn't off the bench, just standing and shooting ~1 sec between shots using the 1001, 1002, 1003 method, the last round on the left underarm may be due to me being rusty... The recoil was noticeably less compared to other 00. I believe I will order more in the near future. Cheers.

Soldiers in Vietnam running Win mod 12 trench guns had great success using 00 Buck depending on the distance of course.

I had once asked a friend who had served in Vietnam what his favorite weapon was and without hesitation he said the Ithaca shotgun. He went on to explain that they had a good selection of weapons to choose from but the shotgun was just so effective in close quarters.

As the saying goes, it is hard to argue with the 12 bore.

This show's that with a shotgun you still need to aim. The myth that just pointing in the general direction will get you hits on your target is totally wrong.

Totally agree on the myth about not having to point a shotgun. I've never been a huge shotgun guy but I'm warming up to the idea of using on for home defense, I just need to train alot more with shotguns. That's alot of damage.
