sc, i've tried quite a few different loads as well. i just posted what was best thru that gun, as sad as it is. the exception was a kent 2.250z #5s that put around 80. i haven't shot the 3.5 federals with the flight control wad thru it because i did not have good results with them in my 3" gun - in fact they did the worst of any shell (except fiocci which have no buffer), even when i shot them thru a .680 choke.

i've been over to the nwtf board, and those guys have had good results really chokingdown lead shotwith carlson and hastings .655 chokes, as well as the indian creek chokes. i've got a friend that has a .655 hastings so i may try his if i can get a hold of him. i'll post any results i might get. thanks!
