Hi all,
I'm a novice shooter who owns two Mossberg shotguns - 590 and 590A1. I have experimented with various practice loads - Independence, Estate, Winchester, and Federal. For defense purposes, I use Remington exclusively - their #4 buck, 00 buck, and 1 oz. slugs.
Now, I'm interested in stocking up in the face of new laws being passed in California. I'm looking into getting two cases of Federal 2-3/4", 1-1/8 oz, #7-1/2 target load to start. Most of these rounds will probably be used against paper targets in indoor ranges. Use for sporting clay is secondary (I wouldn't be using the Mossbergs for that role). What do you all think? The price has been most attractive, as I am a college student of moderate means.
I am also looking into getting a case (250 rounds) of good defense ammo. At the moment, I keep one of the Mossberg loaded with Remington 00 buck. For that purpose, I'm looking at the Remington TAC 8 00 buck. Although there is one less pellet per shell, the velocity is the same and it is stated to produce tighter patterns. Also, the price, at $200 per case, isn't bad.
Thank you for any helpful feedback.
