Hevi-shot VS Flite control wad
« on: March 24, 2006, 05:30:43 AM »
Yesterday I did some patterning with my 12ga mossberg 500 26'' VR barrel it has adjustable fiberoptic sights.  Using 3'' no 6's 1.75 ounce loads both copper plated. Compared the new flite control and win supreme through a undertaker .665 choke at 40yds shooting at a 8'' circle on a 2' by 1.5' posterboard. Shot 2 shots each at different boards and counted shot in circle. Winchester had 59 & 61  Fed flite control 72 & 78. Then tried Rem hevi-shot 3'' no. 6  1.75 ounce through undertaker HS .705 choke got 69 & 75.  Then shot 1 each of the win and fed through the .705 choke got 48 win & 70 fed so opening the choke didnt seem to affect the fed as much as the win. I wanted to try the new Fed Mag•Shok™ HEAVYWEIGHT™ With FLITECONTROL™ Turkey Loads but they were out. I have no dout that load would out proform the rem hevi-shot based on these results. The flite control seems to do as advertized. Just wanted to share.  :D
