I am limited to 2 3/4 with the gun I am using but think the question applies all the way up to the 3 1/2 in shells.
When comparing #4 buck I can get in federal for example a shell that has 34 pellets but is going 1250 fps, a shell that has 27 pellets but is going 1325 fps.
It may not matter and you go with which patterns the best or gets more pellets on the paper. Just curious if they are close to the same or the edge goes to the slower shell getting a few more in the paper but the other arrives with more energy?
What say you?
I have read teh entire shotgun patterning thread and have contributed as well. I am also thinking of trying Remington's HD home defense BB loads as well.
