Has anybody used this stuff? what were their results?
I bought a bunch a couple days ago but a little pricey, is something better i should be looking at part#: LF13200
 
I have both the old version and the new premium version...neither is as good (in terms of recoil and accuracy) as Winchester Ranger :)

I bought 100 rounds of this ammo several years ago. I haven't shot anything with it but it's been a good performer in patterning tests and the recoil is softer. Like any shotshell lower velocity and harder shot means tighter and usually more consistent patterns.

At the same time as I bought the buckshot I bought a similar amount of the Federal Tactical Slug. It's an outstanding performer on light thin-skinned animals and recoiled like a 3 dram trap load.
 
Epps carry or can get the Fiochhi low recoil 9 pellet OO buck. Buy enough, and it's fairly cheap.

So far, I'm a happy camper, and the Newmarket Zombies are scared. The pellets are nickel plated, but we can pretend it's silver, right?
 
The Federal is a good performer. If you want to get really tight patterns try a modified choke. The absolute best 00 Buck I've ever seen is Remington's LEO Reduced Recoil 8 pellet load. In and 870 Police Magnum 12" patterns are possible at 20 yards. Through a modified choked 11-87 it patterned 5-6" at 25 yards! Awesome. The Federal Tactical did 10" at 25 yards in the modified choke. Still very good and has 9 pellets instead of 8.
 
does anybody know anywhere i can find any reduced recoil buckshot ie) federal tactical or any others?

ive looked around town and have come up empty
thanks
 
FYI guys, you may have been shooting older Fed low recoil. There is the newest version with a flight control wad. I have tested this out of a 14 inch MOD barrel from an 870 and the federal won hands down compared to winchester and remington. Mind you the remington was far behind the federal but there was a significant difference. My group size at about 18-20 yds was about 3-5 inches with the MOD choked barrel.
