What's The Best Choke For Federal Flight Control 9 Pellet 00 Buckshot? Let's Find Out! 

I remember back in the 1960's when Federal ammunition was considered low end. especially the red box of 22 long rifle. Now it is a 5 star company for sure. Matt my experience so far is that if I had to pick 1 choke in my Remington 870 Field Master (Express) I would take the Modified. #5 steel patterns well to 40 yards. 00 Buckshot same thing and this is in my reloads. IC 18 1/2 in slug barrel (smooth) with sights is good to 30 or 32 like in close cover and this is just generalization. I am sure enjoying testing ammunition and next time I go out I will compare my reloads to comparable factory loads. Thankyou again for your neutrality and humble attitude when testing.

🤔 That improved cylinder shot group looks pretty good, while also allowing the use of slugs when needed at longer ranges without having to swap out the choke itself. Thank you for sharing.

These are getting harder and harder to find. Great video.

Interrsting how so many people say to NEVER use a full choke with flight control becuase it will cause the mechanism of the flight control to not work. Well, this video shows all those internet know it alls were wrong. Thanks for the video sir.

The pattern of the modified was good but as far as a kill zone shot the full choke wings hands down in my opinion

awesome video. I saw someone get the best result with Mod Choke as well with and without flight control

The over bore on that 835 is allowing the wad to tilt or wobble on its way up the bore to the muzzle, just like firing a slug through over an bored shotgun. That makes it act like standard buckshot through your chokes because the wad isnt able to function as designed.

40 yards is a great distance for me. Im doing property protection with my shotgun not home defense. So the longer distance information is more important to me.

If you discard single flyers - you get the best pattern by far with full choke. If you were drone defending - that's what you would want. And I was hoping you would pull back to see longer ranges. But this is pretty definitive - so thanks a lot.

The Remington 3” 000 pattern very well out of my weatherby too. With a trulock deerstroyer choke.

With improved choke could see the 9th pellet near the white dot. 2 almost in the same hole.

I have never seen the fed flight control here in Australia but i mostly use an italian OO buck called RC4, it patterns very consistant for me out of my turkish shotgun. White box winchester buck is everywhere but it has 1/3 flyers which is annoying. Full choke all the way, my barrel is a 20inch barrel

I think the improved cylinder shot might have had either a flyer or 2 in same hole with I think happened

Try to find some 8 pellet for testing. 9 in flitecontrol tends to have a flier. I bet youd be pleasantly surprised

I've seen a box of 5 going for around $20 at the local show. That's ridiculous even though at a hunting range of 40 yards the way they patterned. I personally would try to find a aftermarket choke specifically for buckshot and just use the plain old economical loads and save money in the long run.

If someone is stuck with a cyl gun w no choke tube threads then FliteControl is the way to go if you think that targets at a range of over 20 yd might be encountered

With a Fab Arms 12 ga the best pattern was with modified followed with IC..

Nothing like a ginger in a camo Johndeer hat . From one ginger to the other keep on man .

It's hard to find those buckshot loads with the flight control

3 pellets on target wins it for me

Full was the best
