[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 944039, member: 5412"] I have a Stainless Judge 3X3. I did a pretty extensive test that I posted on here awhile back with pics. I came to the conclusion that shooting birdshot, or even the OOO rounds made for a long barrel shotgun do not generate the velocities needed for good penetration, as the majority of the slow burning powder was being burned out the end of the barrel. The OOO buck rounds flattened out before leaving the barrel,and flew all over the place with the lead being too soft. BUT! Holy Bejesus somebody at Federal was listening to our complaints, and they have recently came out with the OOObuck round in a 2 1/2" that has copper coated hard shot that stays round out the barrel, and has a fast burning powder designed for a short barrel. In a little preliminary testing at the farm last weekend, I have an old wooden shed, and using the OOO buck rounds designed for a long barrel, at 7 yds, I got a 2' pattern with some of holes being round, and others a rectangle, telling me they were flat and some had gone thru the wall sideways. None penetrated the other side of the shed. With the new Federal OOO buck, I used the same 7 yd distance but shot into the building at a 45 degree angle. It maintained a group of less than 1" with all of the pellets, and went through both sides of the barn. leaving perfectly round holes. "Federal states the 000 contains four pellets that penetrate to a depth of up to 15″ in bare gelatin. The #4 pellets (approximately 10) penetrate to a depth of up to 6″. [/QUOTE]
