Any reviews: Fiocchi 2-3/4" 27 Pellet Nickel Plated #4 Buckshot

2-3/4" #4 Buckshot 27 Nickel Plated Pellets

Fiocchi Ammunition 12 Gauge 2-3/4" #4 Buckshot 27 Nickel Plated Pellets Box of 10

Any one tried this ammo? If so, thoughts? Better price?

I am wanting to order a couple of cases if it turns out to be a good deal, would be for HD and under 40yd pig, coyote, raccoon(control) and bobcat hunting.

Thanks

Lots of guys want to shoot very heavy pay loads. I hunted with a guy in the 80's that shot a load of 27 Pellets of #4 buck at 1250 fps and his patterns were fantastic. He killed as many as I did with 32 Pellets of #4 at 1300.

As always, you will have to play with chokes and your shotgun, pattern at 40 yards.

This load is really terrific in a lot of guns:

These Remington 2-3/4" HD tungsten BB loads will be hard to beat for a 2-3/4" coyote load. I opened one of them up and it had 59 pellets in it. They pattern great and penetrate much deeper than lead BBs do.

The original price was over $20.00 per box so $9.98 for a box of ten is a great price for heavier than lead tungsten loads.

I'm shooting them and I'm really impressed with them out to about 40yds. I'm running them through my berretta 1201F with a full choke tube. Very happy with em. Really does a job on a coyote. Felt I was very fortunate to get a great pattern out of them with the setup I'm shooting. If I remember right, seems like I gave around 5-6 dollars a box for them. Split a case with a buddie.

Well I plan to run them in a FN SLP 18" with a Trulock Light Full, Full or Extra Full choke. I am ordering a complete set of Trulock Precision Hunter choke tubes, but I think one of the ones listed above will give me what I want at 40-50yds.
