That's outstanding.

I had been bugging ADK the last couple of years at the SHOT Show about these loads, and was told they were on the way. Glad that they finally did it.

Thanks for the info... These loads could be a great resource for officers in departments (such as mine) that do not currently field a patrol rifle program.

I'm assuming the load has hardened shot, yes?

Can you tell us the pattern sizes at 7 and 25 yards?

[Glock17JHP]

How many pellets per tier? I seem to recall 16 and 20 pellet versions in the past... 4 pellets per tier...

I would like to see them offer a slightly lower pellet-count version for lower recoil.

Is this load available yet, or still in the R&D phase? If not yet available, any idea of an estimated date?

I would assume it will be hard for civilians to get initially...

That nice little A-Zone circle in the middle of the target is 6" in diameter...

The #1 Buck Tac load looks impressive. The TruBall is of interest as well. I even like the target!

It's about time we got a modern 1B load. I'm glad it's available.

One of the things I like about loads like this is that the tight pattern combined with the high pellet count means you can hit low probability fleeting targets more easily, and wreck them when you do.

You don't always get "center mass" available in a fight, so you shoot what you got until something better shows up, then shoot some more if need be.

Think about those patterns being aimed at a bad guy's foot/elbow/hand/knee/shoulder because that is what you have available sticking out from around cover.

How does this load compare to the ever popular 00 buckshot loads for self/home defense?
