I am thinking of ordering some federal heviweight with the flight control wad that I have been hearing so much about.  Before I spend the $ on this experiment, I was wondering if it shoots fairly weel as far as the point of impact.  I have a Remington 11-87 youth with a remington super full turkey choke.  Only using the bead and I dont plan on scopes or red dots or even adjustable sights.  I know that the only way to find out for shure is to shoot it and I will.  But my other loads impact well with just the bead, I have not shot the flight control wad out of it yet and I wanted to know what others were seeing before I invest $ which is getting harder to come by this year :)  Lots of folks here like this load so anyone have a comment?

I, too, am trying those shells this season. Haven't shot them yet. However, last year I shot the lead FC loads and didn't notice any problems with point of impact when shooting with beads.

I didn't notice any difference in poi while using them.

There is no difference with my 870 youth using the bead. I have 156 hits in 10" @40 yards with RSF choke.

I have a Remington 1187 youth 20 ga. with a 21" barrel and with 3" #7's, I didn't see any difference in POI to other shells I've tried. They are just more expensive.
