M2_shootr Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 What is everyone running with flight control shells? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmcrigger2007 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 My M4 came with a Modified choke and the flight control shells worked out fine . I also picked up an improved choke but i haven't tried it out yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unobtanium Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I have noticed that the more open the choke, the better FC works. Put it in an "overbored" barrel like a mossberg, and you get 12" patterns out to 50+ yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M2_shootr Posted November 28, 2017 Author Share Posted November 28, 2017 The idea that the choke may be distorting the wad was the idea behind this post. I’ve been using a modified choke thus far, had thought about changing to a improved cylinder choke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truckcop Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 I don't run FliteControl with anything tighter than an improved cylinder choke. The wad was originally designed by a guy named Chris Billings. He manufactured ammo with the wad under the name Choke Law Enforcement Ammunition and it was designed to be shot out of cylinder bore shotguns. The design was licensed/sold/stolen? and became the FliteControl wad at Federal and I think a couple of other iterations from other manufacturers. I've tried it out of tighter chokes than IC and the patters start to be adversely affected in terms of tightness at distance. I've also found that the LE 13200 version holds tighter patterns at distance than the Vital Shock version that has a higher velocity.

Unobtanium Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Federal and Hornady licensed 2 versions invented by Mr. Billings. As far as I know, nothing under the table occurred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
