Seems you can find about 20 or more different manufacturers of 12 gauge 2 3/4" 00 buckshot shells. The price point on them varies quite a bit, too. Personally, I guess I've been the most impressed with the Federal FliteControl rounds. They pattern rather well in all of my 12 gauges. When I find them "on sale", the price isn't all that bad either. I admit that I have lots of off brand shells too (Rio, Spartan, Nobel, Fiocchi, etc., etc.). No significant complaints with the cheaper stuff. I did find that I got some misfires (maybe 1 in 20) with Sellier and Bellot, but that might only be my experiences and my particular shotguns. I've also had great experiences with Remington, Winchester, etc. I've never tried Hornady.
Anyway, are there any particular brands of 2 3/4" 00 12 gauge shells that are worth a significantly higher price than the competition? I'm talking about a defense weapon application. Does the Hornady Critical Defense do anything better than the others? Take care. Tom Worthington
