Did some accuracy testing today with my Benelli M4 (18.5" barrel) Federal LE 9 Pellet 00 Buck FliteControl (LE132) & Federal LE Truball Rifled HP slug (LEB127).
Test one:
LE132 FliteControl @ 25yds
Test two:
LEB127 Truball @ 100yds
Thoughts on the test. In test one, the ability to keep 6 pellets in a 9" circle at 25yds is fantastic. In fact, if my gun was zeroed a little better, I would have kept 6 pellets in a 5" circle! I would have no concerns with taking a shot at a bad guy with people standing right next to them. For comparison sake, I shot some Winchester Military 9 pellet 00 buck and there were rounds off the target.
I also shot some of the LE132 at an IDPA steel target that was well over 100yds out. I put multiple pellets on the target every time.
In test two, the spread between slugs was about 10 inches. I am confident that with a red dot or a 4x scope that I could shoot 2-3 inch groups at 100yds!
The Federal FliteControl and Truball ammo really change the game for the SG IMHO (making it a much more accurate weapon at greater distances).
