Lubaloy copper plated shot was introduced by Winchester in 1929.

To clarify: I did not assemble/reassemble any loaded shells with .300" inch pellets in lieu of the 2.75" and 3" factory loads from which I removed the Flite-Control wads. The 12 and 16 pellet loads with actual nominal #1B, ie .300" diameter lead alloy pellets , under discussion, represent a...

Many of the reponses here suggest that other #1B shotshells will actually contain .300" pellets. That is certainly not the case - at least since Winchester's introduction of the Mark 5 buckshot load in 1963. The addition of a plastic collar and "Grex" buffer was a revolutionary pattern...

The 15 pellet Low Recoil LE #1B Flite Control was the round in which the pellets measured .285" and weighed 33 grains.

Do you think the addition of actual 30 caliber #1B in Federal Premium's 12 Gauge Flite Control line is a good idea? Why or why not?

Lest you fear lower velocity will seriously hinder the effectiveness of a one ounce rifled slug, here is a link to a successful deer hunt by Brobee 223 with a Mossberg ShockWave using Remington Low Recoil Rifled Slugs. These slugs, rated at 1200 fps, actually reached 1100 fps from the 14 inch...

The Federal Premium 12 gauge LE133 00B, 8 pellet Flite Control round is rated at 1145 fps from an industry standard 30 inch barrel at a distance of 3 feet The 8 pellets weigh in right at 400 grains So from an 18.5 inch barrel - less than an ounce at less than 1100 fps. Certainly a...

Winchester's current Ranger LE line includes a 12 gauge low recoil 1 ounce rifled slug, with an advertised velocity of 1200 fps. My experience with this load dates back to the first white hull - low brass version, (now marketed** with a gray hull and high brass). This 1200 fps load is quite...

My "franken gun" is a 12 bore Mossberg Maverick that I set up with a model 500 18.5" heavy contour barrel with accu-choke. The barrel was billed as a contract overrun for an LE agency - plain barrel with a brass bead sight. The original Maverick plastic stock was a bit too long so a 70s era...

Indeed, some organizations may use the phrase as you describe. However, the condition of readiness moniker, "cruiser ready," is generally understood as described in post 27 above. Usually in connection with a secure automotive, or otherwise mounted, weapons lock.

For what its worth, the Monarch 20 ga 9 pellet #1B are loaded .280" to .285" dead soft lead pellets. The load has no shotcup or buffer. You may want to check out the .310" 6 cavity Lee "round ball" mold sold exclusively by Track of the Wolf. See...

FEDERAL PREMIUM SHOTSHELL 20GA 2-3/4 #2 BUCK WITH FLITE CONTROL SKU : PD204 2B Update: 1325 FPS Muzzle Velocity 10 Pellets Copper-Plated Buckshot Part of the Personal Defense line

Ever wonder what 12 bore Flite Control performance with .30" pellets would look like? Yes, I know the only Flite Control #1 buckshot rounds use(d) the smallest pellet that can be labeled #1B. Yeah, those .285"-.286" diameter 33 grain pellets. But just what would a load using actual .30"...

Yes, it seems the ammunition industry is waking up to the existance of defensive/tactical 20 gauge shotguns. And, finally recognizing the need for a long overdue update to their 20 gauge buckshot lines. My original post was predicated on the seeming reluctance of shotshell manufactures to...

FEDERAL PREMIUM SHOTSHELL 20GA 2-3/4 #2 BUCK WITH FLITE CONTROL 5RD (10 BOX CASE) SKU : PD204 2B #2B nominal* diameter .27" and approximate pellet weight 29 grains. No pellet count or velocity info yet. *SAAMI voluntary standards for buckshot: Nominal Diameter + .015"...

That load is listed on page 68 of the 2024 Federal Premium catalog. Pellet size and count appear to be a typographical error. https://www.federalpremium.com/catalog.html

Ah, some want smaller buckshot pellets for predators. Well, following the bean counter concept a little further, the remaining inventory of small buckshot would be #4B which means an actual pellet diameter around .235" weighing in at 19 to 20 grains apiece. These lead buckshot could be fully...

Some thoughts for discussion: All current domestic 20 Gauge buckshot cartridgess use a gas seal, filler wad and buffer. That's right, no shot cup. And considering current #1B offerings in other gauges run to pellets of .285" diameter, it seems a change to #1B in the 20 bore be a welcome...

Regarding the many, commonly available, rifled slug rounds: The many differing velocity loads make it possible to find a rifled slug cartridge that shoots to point of aim with the bead on a flat rail sight system* - commonly found on field guns. The sight picture is essentially the same as...

The extremely stiff crossbolt safety of the Maverick 88 series is a design weakness. Of course if you keep the shotgun in cruiser ready" * this may not be a concern. *Magazine loaded, safety off, and internal hammer down on an empty chamber
