DD, do you know if the police ever pattern their shotguns with different loads?
I wonder what choke they use, also.
Yep. They get patterned quite often. We ended up going with Federal 00 "Tactical" loads for our 870's.
They are loaded with "flitecontrol" wads that pretty much land 9 pellets in 2" at 15 yards or so.
This from cylinder bore shotguns, and from a few Improved Cylinder.
