Winchester Super X 2-3/4" 8 Pellet 000 Buck Test W/ Remington 11-87 & Stock Full Choke

[@M.H.D.actual]

Not bad at all, decent spread and good spacing. Makes me optimistic for some old Remington managed recoil 8 pellet 00 buck I have laying around. Would you consider testing the 3" 12 pellet federal flight control buckshot?

[@lukewesson44]

Better than I had anticipated. Pretty good overall for a more budget load.

[@matttyreeoutdoors]

Yeah, definitely not too bad all things considered

[@AbelGuerra-xz3pc]

Pattern isn’t bad I’ve always gotten really great patterns with a modified choke my 1100 would be on target at 100 yards with all 8 pellets

[@matttyreeoutdoors]

We will try them through some other chokes, so we'll see what kind of patterns we can get out of them

[@Cr0wmagnum]

Paul Harrell did a video on the mysterious 9th pellet. I don't normally deer hunt with buckshot but that was a decent pattern.

[@matttyreeoutdoors]

Yep, it was a pretty solid pattern

[@User-nx7rs]

I'll repeat what I've read, every shotgun patterns every load differently and you must test which load best is for your shotgun.

[@matttyreeoutdoors]

Yep, I also say the same thing all the time. You should always test your specific setup before taking it out into the woods

[@SixTwoHemi]

I just saw this ammo online. The payload is massive just the 8 pellet gives you little margin at distance which leads me back to 3” 00 15 pellet. I’d like to see the double x 00 2-3/4 or 3” load to see if the extra cost is worth it. Nevertheless thanks for sharing!!

[@scotscheideman9800]

I would like to see more than 1 pattern , - is this tight, average or open for this load? How consistently does it pattern. Does it pattern this nice every time, some of the time or only once in a hundred? "A scientific sample size of One is not much better than None"! Why not shoot 2 or 3 patterns per load so your data is not so full of questions and has a few more answers.

[@matttyreeoutdoors]

Yes, you have a point, but this isn't really a scientific test at the end of the day. With the cost and limited availability of some of these shells lately, I want to try and maximize the amount of tests we can get out of a box. If we take several shots just to see the same pattern, we would just be wasting shells at that point. We do have more in depth tests with some of the more special ammo, but it's just not normally worth it with the basic stuff like this

[@ryankobilansky2500]

Thank you for the information and content you're putting out. I get maximizing your use of the ammo to keep the cost for the vids low. But you have to be willing to fire more than one shot. Shotguns are inherently variable so If you get a poor or favorable pattern from one shell you cannot base a decision off that. Especially, if you get what looks like a wad failure or a low chrono report, I would ask that you fire a second pattern to see if the results can be duplicated.

[@antonelloromeo2118]

Good performance for 000 buck load, is not wad, this is important comparative for buckshot into wad.The 0.360 buck (66-70 gr) is high impat for target. Sorry for my english

[@matttyreeoutdoors]

Yep, definitely not too bad
