I have used Remington shotguns all my life for birds, small game, & deer. I have had no luck at all with Remington ammo. I find it to be very inconsistant. I have been a firm beleiver that Remington firearms are made for Federal ammo. I use nothing but Federal for small game birds and slugs for deer. The only Remington ammo that I found superior to any other is there Hevi-Shot for geese. The shell are the stateof the art load. Being a hard core goose hunter I have tried them all. This Hevi-Shot load is the best on the market.
