Any good deals. Like to stock up for next season. Even though didn’t use many this year.
Federal flight control. 3 in. 00 12 pellet. Best factory load.Killed deer a long ways with them. Hard to find.
I've been looking at the Flitecontrol and everything I can find says they don't like much choke. Start with modified but some guns like improved cylinder.What choke to you use for those?

It is well worth the effort. I extended my range close to 50%.I ain’t trying to tell a fella what to do but, I’d learn to load my own. I just started before deer season came in. It cost you a little to get started but it’s worth it in the long run. The patterns I get with factory loads don’t hold a candle to my hand loads. The Kick’s Buckickers choke tubes I shoot helps too.
I use it on a 12 Ga,3.5 in chamber Single shot. It has a,full,choke.What choke to you use for those?

Mold your own.I've loaded some #1 and #00 with pretty good results. The only down side I've found is the cost of buckshot.
Remington had the Nickel plated buckshot for a couple of years
I've been looking into it. Ever tried it? I've molded fishing sinkers a little bit.Mold your own.

Agreed, a factory OO Buckshot pellet actually is a O Buck 32 cal...Yes, handloading buckshot creates load options you can't purchase.
I like to take my late 1960s Remington 1100 on deer drives occasionally. It is chambered and set up to eject for 2 3/4" 12 gauge shells - both roll and fold crimp. My favored handload for the 1100 is a 16 x .30" pellets stacked in layers of two in a steel shot type wad. (Factory loaded #1B pellets run only .286" and 33 grains).
Now the 16 x .30" load will not fit in a 2 3/4" fold crimp hull, but will fit perfectly in a 2 3/4" roll crimped hull (same loaded length as a 3" fold crimp). That vintage 1100/30"/full choke, will function and eject smoothly with this buffered 1.44 ounce / 1260 fps roll crimped load.
Patterns at forty yards seldom put less that 10 pellets in the 10" pattern core and all sixteen of my heat treated 40 grain pellets inside of 15"
