Went to the range today to try these babies out.
Used two 870 12 ga - #1 with an 18" bbl, fixed imp cyl choke & iron sights. The other, #2 w/ a 21" bbl, vent rib, double bead, screw-in modified.
25 yards & a couple from #1 just clipped each other, #2's threw 'em about an inch apart.
50 yards = 3X each - #1's did a nice cloverleaf about 1.5" center to center. #2's at about twice that. BTW. #1's sights threw these about 3.5" high at 25 yards & 50 yards.
100 yards with just #1 & I got about 8" groups & roughly centered about the bullseye, byt frankly, I couldn't see the bull all that well at that distance. Figure with even a 2X scope, the group would have shrunk to 1/2 what I got.
In any event, I'm pretty tickled with this load. Never saw this PMC offering until a week or so back. 1oz Brenneke at 1600 fps that shoots wonderful out of my two main 870s & at $1.99/5 pack ... on the way home, bought up another 10 boxes.
I need more money - again.

& about twice as much. Apparently, not enough strabilization with only ~5" or so of rifling.
