Mag_Dump Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Looking to invest in a bulk home defense load purchase and was wondering if anyone has had any issues out of Federal LE 12700 or 13200 with the fixed modified choke of the m1014? Relative noob, but some reading has me worried the pair may not be the ideal setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveinWV Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I have a Turknelli that hasn't had a problem with the low recoil 13200 shells, but their ejection is weak. I suggest the standard velocity 12700 ammo. That said, my best patterns have been with a cylinder choke. My Remington 870 and 1100 with 20" barrels with a cylinder choke and the LE 12700 ammo shoot much better patterns than my Turknelli with a cylinder or Imp. cyl. choke. You might want to try Hornady Critical Defense 00 buckshot and compare it to the Federal LE ammo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cas Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 "Every gun is a law unto itself." A good guess is the most you can hope. Better buy a couple boxes, test and find out. Some time back I bought a case of Federal LE reduced recoil slugs, turned out the gun I wanted to use them in shot them great, just about 8" too low to be useful. Ended up selling the remaining 98% of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
