This stuff patterns nicely in my Remington 1100 with a modified choke at 45 yards. I found that the IC and Full chokes tend to scatter more, probably because the shot is fairly hard with the copper plating. This is probably the best 20ga buckshot I've ever used. It's expensive, but it's super consistent and lethal on whitetails.
