I always want to get the 'best' ammo for my particular gun, and after spending $200 on ammo a couple of days ago I was curious as to the experience people have had here?
For a "Serious Social Interaction Shotgun" which is better for buckshot, plated or not?
Now I understand I need to pattern my gun with each load / brand, but should I pattern with copper/nickel plated / hardened buffered shot or standard lead? Example the difference between Remington's:
Express 2 3/4" 9 pellet 00 buck
and
Premier 2 3/4" 9 pellet 00 buck
Same velocity just less pellet deformation....
Now I know that nailing a home invader with standard lead shot of any kind is more than enough to do the job, so is hitting him/her with an shovel handle.
I just like the Idea of having the best that I can buy in my gun.
So if both shot and fed well and both groups were acceptable which would you load with?
I am thinking of buying about 20 rounds of each Rem/Win/Fed in plated and unplated and patterning each....
I will let you guys know the results.
Any input is appreciated thanks again.
