Federal Premium Tactical Law Enforcement 12 Gauge 00 Buck Shotgun Ammo with Flite Control wad
People often ask me what kind of ammo we run in our shotguns at work, well we recently switched to Federal Premium Law Enforcement 00 buck. I have been so impressed with it, I purchased some for my own personal use. As you will see in the video the Federal with the Flite control wad shoots such a tighter pattern then the Winchester we used to carry. I am shooting out of my Remington 870 with an 18 1/2 inch barrel and an improved cylinder choke.
Great Demo, convinced me 00 Buck is good as a slug at close range. Thank u,
I use #4 S&B in the home, but ordered 200 rounds of this for a truck gun/ reach out a bit situation. Looks like some serious shit for a bit of range, if needed. Thanks!
what is the whole idea of shotgun ammo, is it to have a tight pattern or scatter the pellets all over the target ? myself don’t have a problem with a big pattern as long as the pellets travel at higher speeds to ensure a kill when hunting, where i come from civilians don’t shot people ,only police and soldiers shot criminals.
Do you recommend anything like this but with not such a tight pattern?
I just bought that same ammo
That nine pellet "Federal Flight Control" is some really good stuff , It prints tight pattens from my 590A1 20" CYL Bore "no choke" shotgun… Around 10"spread at 20 meters. ****Hornady now offers buckshot in 12 gauge 2-3/4 and 3" magnum with #4 coyote or 00 deer pellets . Hornady Wads and pellets are similar to "Federal Flight Control"…. NOT all Federal buckshot is "Flight Control"… Some Federal are full power. Some Federal are Reduced RECOIL Law Enforcement loads… Some Federal Buckshot is the wide spread stacked cork wads similar to the ranger loads shown in this video. The Federal boxes are ver similar for various loads , And the Federal shells all look exactly alike. True Variety, and it all works as intended, but…..Federal, can we say "CONFUSING" ? ***** "to avoid confusion" Hornady only offers what I call ‘their version of flight control wad’ which HORNADY calls "Versa-Tite" …. Hornady does NOT currently offer wide spread buckshot…. Hornady Buckshot prints tight patterns at range and the claimed speeds are both impressive and close to reality . 12 gauge 00 with 8 pellets at a claimed 1600 fps … For buckshot, that is fast. HORNADY @ 1600 FPS buckshot is ‘NOT’ for the RECOIL Sensitive shooter….. The 3" Magnum loads are almost as fast with more pellets. These are some serious ‘hunting’ loads.
I had a question why is a patrol officer carrying a shotgun In their cruiser load a 00 buck instead of rifled slug? Because if buckshot pellet will miss one of that pellet can hit a person
Cause and effect. Depends on what your after.
it is 1145fps or 1325 fps ? for the flitecontrol federal
Are you by chance right-handed but left eye mastered?
Will the reduce recoil cause problems in a semiauto shotgun like the Benelli?
Is the Federal considered low brass or high? Do you know if there are any ejector problems on semi-auto? Thanks!
i think this is one of the many few cool ass cops
Do they make these in low recoil or for 20’s?
Would that be good against the black bear that’s getting into my bird feeders? Or should I stick with the 3-inch Magnums 15 pellet loads?
What is the difference between the LE version and the vital shock version?
which would you recommend this federal or hornady critical 00 buckshots for tightest patterns
What choke were you using?
Great video. I was going to buy Remington LE, 9 shot. After watching your video, I am going to buy a case of the Federal. Thank you.
Is that a rifled barrel? If it is its opening up the group.
Watching this in mid 2020 and you say “it’s $5 a box, so not cheap” made me smile considering I’ve paid $18 a box during this crap storm of 2020
Gotta get me a box…..thanks…
i think this is one of the many few cool ass cops
I’m using a Kel-Tec KSG, I purchased A choke tube adapter for it made of steel; can I use this without a choke? I’m asking because I’m under the impression that it (chokes) will negatively effect the #1 buckshot from federal premium with flitecontrol. It’s a winchoke if that matters. Homedefense use only
Are these the Federal LE13200 ? You really should have given the Federal item number or at least the velocity. Other than that, good video. Thanks.
lOW BRASS VS. hIGH bRASS ???????
11 PELLETS WITH LOW BRASS VS. 9 PELLETS HIGH BRASS ????????
I just picked up some of this ammo today….I Like it
wow, i need these.
For realistic HD ranges I prefer the standard 00 buck load. I’m using a shotgun because I expect it to behave like a shotgun. I want a wider spread than what the flitecontrol does at in home ranges. For police work the flitecontrol is an excellent improvement. I’d like to pick some up for the woods.
Bro.lol👍
has anyone ever tested inserting a tungsten carbide tig tip into a 12 gauge slug? I hear it will help the slug penetrate body armor. please let me know
These are great rounds. Great tight patterns. Thanks for the great video.
That’s amazing performance and is an unsurpassable field load, but in close quarters, this essentially turns your shotgun into a clumsy rifle with a very small magazine and a ton of recoil. I prefer a good #1 buckshot with some spread for in-home defense.
Whats best for home defense? Doble 00? Bird shot?
I wish it was $5 a box.. cheap by today’s standards
I used the Hornady 3 inch double ought Buck nine pellet and kill coyotes at 40 45 50 yards
Is it just me ? I do not see the point of then using loads for a shotgun THAT DO NOT EX SPAN in the house . You want MAX expansion in the house !! One of the reasons we cut the barrel also !
Hunting bad guys outside different story now.
are they copper plated BBs?
I’m sold on it. I’m looking for a good HD round and thanks to you I found it!
With guys like you, I feel very safe in the world. It’s a crazy world out there, and I decided to protect my family with that product as well. You did a great job on this video. Please keep making more informative videos like this one. Thank you, my brotherkeepers111!
is the weapon you use an improved cylinder?
Thanks for your interesting video comparison. That Federal Premium ammo patterns too tight for me. I did an interesting comparision today trying some of the Fiocchi Low Recoil 12 ga 00 ammo (abt 1150 fps) in my Remington 1100 semi-auto with an 18.5 inch barrel. It would not cycle the action, although Winchester Low Recoil 00 ammo cycled it just fine. The action and barrel are made for regular 2 3/4 inch ammo.
how mm is the federal pellet ?
btw great video 🙂 im thinking about switching into federal too
Damn that is bad ass ammo…burglar=0 good guy=1
Wow!. Getting some of these…thanks!
What choke are you using my brother? Would you recommend modified? Robin
Just now seeing this video, very informative. As a former LEO my self, watch your 6.
Hi, is it 1145 muzzle velocity reduced recoil or regular and if so, what velocity is it? Thanks.
Let me tell you, this is some GOOD STUFF. I bought a case of it not long ago, I usually buy Remington. But let me tell you at 50 feet, the shot makes a pattern smaller than my fist, and the wadding either goes in the HOLE or falls on the ground in front of and against the Target. The Copper Clad Shot contributes to the tight pattern as well they tell me. I had some silhouette targets attached to an empty barrel that was already shot to pieces, it really is a tight pattern. I believe it to be better than a slug at creating a catastrophic wound. Whether or not that is true, the pattern is very tight as compared to any other buckshot I have ever run. You might say it is a SLUG as big as your fist. I wish he had of got back 50 feet and showed us. I was shooting it at 50 feet and man, tight pattern, wadding goes in ot the "wound" or bounces off and lands at the "feet" of the target.
To me, it appears it does NOT have the recoil of the Remington, it may be it has less powder in it, but the tight pattern gets it DONE. It has more than enough power to Cycle my Remington Auto loader Shotgun. BB
WOW!! I’m buying some of them. Thanks, brotherskeepers111.
