It's probably a good round, just not for my shotgun.

Pattern at 15 yards is greater than 8 inches. Gun is a Benelli M4 with mod. choke. The Versatite did not work well with my gun. Understand a modified choke might work against the versatite. At 15 yards Federal Flitecontrol will be one ragged hole about 4 inches wide.

Critical defense had become my go to defensive ammo, d sad I i was excited to try it out in 12 gauge. Used it with a mossberg shockwave. Tight patterns. Able to make precision shots in relatively close quarters.

5, 7 & 10 yards, patterns were tight, 2-3 inches. Very accurate and precise. 15 and 20 yards The patterN began to spread. At 20 yards 6 in spread.

I feel very confident that this is an excellent round for home defense. You will hit only what you’re suing at.

Consistently tight patterns to 30 yards

Shooting Remington 1100 with Improved Cylinder
Patterns tightly grouped and consistently centered around point of aim at 15 to 30 yards
A common rule of thumb is to expect pellet groups to expand 1" per yard beyond 15 yards; however, this ammo expanded less and produced "tighter-than-other-ammo-tested" pellet groups all the way out to 30 yards.

Optimum home defense shotgun ammo; this round packs devastating power and very tight groups. Cycles flawlessly in my Benelli M2 with manageable recoil.

A friend and I have ordered from Lucky Gunner several times now and have not been upset one time as the products come right to the door in a VERY timely manner! Given the item it's safe for me to say that I'd surely not want to be on the 'receiving' end of ammo!

I'm not going to 'waste' another round on the range though--as this is far to high quality for that. It's like my life insurance policy--something I'll never want to ever use. BUT if I have to--I am confident all will go as planned!

If you are a Tactical instructor like I am and you need to pass the test use this ammo Period !!!
When it came time to qualify all the others where failing because there pellets where hitting out of the circle and it only takes 1 pellet to hit out of the circle and you fail. I let them use my ammo and all of the instructor's passed. This is no lie I ended up with 5 different kinds of ammo because they want to pay me back. It is the tightest 00 buck ammo I have ever seen and you don't have to chock your barrel.
