I use the Fed flight control and feel they give me the best pattern in 3 1/2" #5's. I used to use the Winchester since they patterned better for me out of my SBE. The flight control is a bit better. What is the story with the nitro loads? I guess I never tried them but have seen them in the gun shop. I get pretty good performance but nothing like 75 to 95 hits in a 10" circle at 40 yards much less over 200. What am I missing here.
