Federal Powershok #00 Buck Shot

At 50 yards they shot on top of each other with a h&r 20 gauge ultra sluggun.

I shoot a SX4 and I end up having to clean the gun after 200-250 rounds. I can run 1000 AA without issues. These things are dirty. I went out and a limb and bought 10 cases for the summer. I'm regretting it now.

Winchester #4 Buck is the only thing I use for shotgun coyote hunting. Compare the case height to Federal and you'll notice the Winchester is considerably larger. This leads me to believe Winchester isn't skimping on powder and my personal results prove it. I've taken coyotes farther than I would have believed had I not done it myself. Also 2 3/4 inch is all you need in my opinion. For years I used 3 inch but with these 2 3/4 is all you need I promise. Thank you Winchester and I hope you continue to make these in #4 buckshot 2 3/4 inch shells.

As for as I am concerned it's the best 12ga. Slug made.

Very reliable in my Stoeger M3000, but man do they pack a wallop. I can't tell the difference in recoil between a semi-auto or a pump. I've fired 3" shells with less boom than these. Not for those who are recoil shy. BUT, these are listed as hunting rounds, not personal/home defense rounds, so that recoil should be expected compared to low recoil defense rounds. Otherwise, I had no issues, they were fairly clean compared to other manufacturers, recoil felt fairly consistent (though my shoulder wishes I had a few under loaded ones haha), and compared to other well known manufacturers slugs, I felt I had pretty comparable groupings at 25 yards.
