It highlights how factors like ammunition technology (specifically wad design) and distance significantly influence pattern spread. The expert instructor emphasizes the critical importance of patterning your specific shotgun and ammunition combination to understand its performance envelope for effective and responsible use, debunking common myths about shotgun accuracy.
This review tests RIO Royal Buck Low Recoil 12 gauge 00 buckshot against standard Remington loads. The low recoil variant offers significantly reduced muzzle flip and felt recoil, making it more manageable. However, this comes at the cost of wider pellet patterns at 10 yards and slightly reduced penetration through OSB compared to standard buckshot.
