Talked With IC and Federal!!!

[Hardtime_NC]

I had posted the results earlier with the .555 IC and Fed HW 7's.  A lot of people warned me of this so I caller Fed and IC.  They both told me there were no danger and to shoot away.

It is not a danger issue as much as a counterproductive issue. The Federal folk are proud of their wad that is supposed to make a modified or full choke become a super dense pattern shooter.

The Indian Creek choke with wad strippers and or porting  is designed to strip the wad away from the shot as it is leaving the choke. Thus the paradox when using this choke.
That being said, there are many reports of this shell in SSX , IC, Kick's, and other chokes that have had good to excellent reports of patterns using the Federal FC shell. That wad is stiffer in the 12 gauge than the 20 and I suspect that there will be less effect in the 20 gauges but have no extensive tests or reports to prove this.

I have shot one HW 7 trough the IC .555 and got 207 in a 10" at 40 yds.  One was all we had but there is more on the way so we will see just how consistant they shoot.

im going to give a fed 7 a ride out of my 555 ic. as soon as it quits raining after reading this post out of my s&w.if i get any kind of decent pattern that is even and consistent it will save me a bunch of money.

Please let me know how it turns out for you.

The IC 555 and Fed HW 7's like each other!  Don't care that it ain't supposed to work...it works.

It could go on the premise that is working with the SSX 550.. Ultra tight constriction and wad catchers working to disable the flitecontrol wad..

The wad's not workin in any of the tight chokes anyway even the PG tempest .570!!
The front petals are suppose to open and slow the wad...not happen'in IME with turkey
chokes.Also the IC's are not tearing the hard wad up as expected either just helping
separate the wad from the shot IME!And yes it is consistant in the IC. chokes IME!

Here is a pic. Not the best quality pic but the number is 170 with the IC 555 and Fed 7's.  40 yds from muzzle.
