Yea I know the price wasn't the best but I happen to be in Cabelas get some fishing gear and remembered I needed to get some Buckshot! Well I don't see free shipment so it's about the same price I paid? I looked at the regular stuff in the 5 round boxes and to get 175 rounds I would have paid double what I did for this stuff! Well I'll get out and see how it runs and patterns in my shoty!

Well I got out to pattern these through my shoty!

Firearm 12 ga A5 Browning Mag 26" barrel

Gunnut - interesting photos. It actually looks like the groups are tighter with the more open modified choke. Thanks for sharing.

Yep kind of proves the old saying shoot buck in a no choke or slight choked gun! I think I'll get an Improve cylider choke and try that! Sure does look like the full choke had deformed some pellets! The Mod will serve until then as for SD use 20 yards is pushing it for legal reasons!

This was the first time I had shot buck through this gun- last time I used buck was in my now gone Mosberg 500 with 30" full choke - that gun actually shot it very well out to 30 yards- then the flyers showed very much past that distance! I stuck a 26" tube on it and with ImpCylinder choke it was devistating out to 50 yards! But I love this A5 -shooting buck is a dream -very low recoil!

I bought a box of this ammo at the local store and was hoping to hear more about it. Thanks for the pics.

I can buy a whole case of it cheaper online, but for $1.50 more per box, it's easier on the wallet for me to buy a box every week locally and spread the cost out.
