Does anyone know where you can find 16 pellet #1 buckshot by the case?

No FliteControl though plz, as I think that negates some of its strengths.

This has long been my favorite overall buckshot size thanks to both word of mouth and media testing, but of course its not easy to find.

i take it that you like your pattern to spread out a bit as i read between the lines. will keep a lookout for you as well.

Thanks.

I really like #4 buck for certain purposes but I find a bit light for all around go-to load.

Thanks also.

Yeah a moderate amount of spread, as long as the pellets are evenly spaced.

What I like about standard 16 pellet #1 buck is that within the 0-25 yard range where buckshot is most effective, it throws enough pellets to allow a decent amount of pattern density even with a generous sized pattern.

Ad it does it with a decent sized pellet that seems to give up very little in individual effectiveness to 00 up to 20 yards or so.

By going with the FliteControl version of this load you give up most of the margin of error allowed by a bigger pattern within that 25 yard distance.
