What is the best quality buckshot?

Question

Which brand seems to keep a good pattern Ive hear Wolf is horrible at keeping a pattern same with Winchester. So can some one please tell me which brand has the best quality for range and pattern. I already know about chokes and all that ,but Ive heard some brands of buckshot are just made better.

Answer 1

Wolf horrible??.....



I use a lot of Wolf 2 3/4 inch buckshot and think its pretty good stuff...... I have never had a fail to feed, fire or eject with that stuff in any of my Mossberg or Remington shotguns.....



I have used Remington, Federal Tactical and a little Winchester... I havent had a problem with those or any brand of 2 3/4 inch buckshot....



One of the main reason I liked the Wolf was because it could be had cheap - now its in short supply in most places....



Its not as if your spending 30 grand on a new truck..... Buy a few boxes of a few different brands and see what performs best for you.... Most stuff out there is pretty decent in my opinion....

Answer 2

Hornady TAP. I have a few boxes stashed away. But since it's over a $1 a pop I use Sellior & Bellot for my range outings. Pretty managable recoil.

Answer 3

I have been using Remington Buckshot,Good round.

To make things simple, I will just give you the serial number of the brand and type of buckshot shell I use in my Benelli M4:

It's what I carry on duty and so far I havn't found anything better.
