Very impressive pattern, is that top target a #1 buck load?
And were you testing these as possible new defensive loads?
Kinda surprised the 25 yard pattern wasn't tighter. Federal LE 127-00 out of my favorite 18" 870 will print 4" patterns all day long at that range.

I've never found ANY barrel that would pattern any load of #1 buck worth a darn, and I've been looking since I first heard of its theoretical advantages in a hunter education class back in the 1970s. I know they're out there, but I've never owned one.
What is the diff between 127 and 132?
Thank you!
So where are a few vendors selling Federal's LE132-1B in 5, 25, or 250 round quantities? I'm looking to pick up a case but can't find any from some usual sources I've checked. It's even more troublesome than trying to find Federal's LEB127LRS truball rifled slugs.
