    "Premium" 00 buckshot worth it?

    Wow, you guys weren't kidding about those Federal Flite Control shells!! And I thought all shells would basically follow the 1" spread per yard rule of thumb. I think it's too tight for HD ranges (might as well just use a slug), but it certainly does extend the useful range of 00 buck. Does...

    "Premium" 00 buckshot worth it?

    For use in a Mossberg 18.5" without a choke, is there any point to buying "premium" 00 buckshot (~$1/shell), such as Federal Power Shok or the Winchester military surplus stuff? If not, I'd much prefer my $0.65/shell Remington Express bulk pack from Walmart. My rationale is it's a shotgun...

    Rifled slugs in smoothbore bbl cleaning frequency

    I read somewhere that if you use rifled slugs in a smoothbore shotgun, you need to clean the barrel every 4-5 shots due to lead fouling... is this true or just misinformation? FYI I'd be using them in a cylinder bore shotgun, if that makes any difference.
