Shotguns with "tactical" buckshot, different barrel lengths and options

So many factors go into how tight a shotgun will pattern.

Correct. Shot size, pressure behind it (velocity), roundness of the shot, coatings (nickle, copper) antimony percentage, barrel length, smoothness of the barrel, etc. etc.

I use the Hornady 55 grain Varmint. That, the Zombie Max, Black and TAP are all the exact same load and bullet. The only difference is the color and price. The Varmint is typically the least expensive. It also happens to be very accurate in my primary weapon. I keep about 20 mags filled with it.

Only 20 loaded mags?

Maybe an older 870. Only thing Ill buy with reminton on it now is ammo.

Agree, never had a problem with an older Wingmaster. I like plain barrels and fixed chokes, and I can outshoot guys with Kriegoffs with it.

I have a shockwave and a cheap semi auto i picked up for clays. I wanted to shoot clays more but usually shoot pistol when i go. Ive ordered a pistol brace so I can shoot the shockwave shoulder or pistol. Ive never owned a DB or OU.

But you said you only need two shots, so...

More than that is too much of a PITA to unload and transfer the ammo to another set of mags every six months.

only need one. I dislike the weight of 2 barrels and thought i like single shot shotguns the 2nd round if for a possible buddy. keep asking im full of opinions.
