Has anyone shot/patterned the 3" Magnum Winchester #1 Buck?
Shell Length: 3"
Shot Size: #1 Buckshot
Number of Pellets: 24
Muzzle Velocity: 1040 fps
Winchester #: XB1231
Low Muzzle Velocity, but TWENTY FOUR pellets in one shot is intriguing for HD range.
I'd like to see that too. I found this:

and this is a good read:

My guess is that all the extra pellets bump into each other and accuracy suffers just like 00 mag. Less range but more pellets in my experince w/ 00 mag. I could be wrong about #1.
Does anyone know a source for 12ga copper plated #1?
Most of the usual vendors seem to only stock 12ga 00.
I just got a hold of some 3'' Mag Federal Flight Control 00. Its 12 pellets vs 15 and it patterns quite nicely.
