Federal Flight Control Wad ammo

[etcetera]

Tried the Federal Flite Control Wad ammo, LE132 and such, it shrinks your patterns in half, you get 7" patterns at 25 yards. Seems to extend the range to 40 yards, all 9 pellets stay on paper.

I like the stuff as far as pattern goes, did you use this in an m4 or an m1-m2? le13200-le13300 is low-recoil and just wondered if a semi-auto would have issues cycling with it

My M1's have no issues with it. My 14" entry gun really loves it. Cycles just fine and phenomenal patterns. I was using LE13200 before flite control wads and it was good then(still is - I have a couple of cases left). The FCW's took it to a whole 'nuther level, as they say.

M4, and no issues.

I find that the 9 pellet shells are just ever so slightly longer than the 8 pellet shells which reduces capacity in my M4 by one round. Now I could probably trim a "turn" off of the mag spring to solve the problem but I would prefer not to do that.

 

YMMV

supposedly the 8 pellet version has a tighter pattern than the 9 pellet.

Even when my M4 was having some issues with light bird shot it would cycle the low recoil flite control LE132 without any problems. I've used both 8 pellet LE133 and 9 pellet LE132 and get the same number of rounds in the tube, both before and after adding the extended tube.
