Saw these at my LGS so I got a couple of boxes of both. $22 give or take a box. I’ll take them out and see how my CZ712 likes them. Anyone ever tried either of these?

No but I’d love to, especially military grade! How about coming back on here and give us the inside scoop. How effective were they

For Sure. I’ll see how they pattern at a few distances and post pictures, hopefully this weekend.

It’s hard for me to find 00 in my area for some reason. I can find lots of different sized bird shot and maybe some slugs, but not much for home defense.

I see a lot of 5 round boxes, mostly Federal and these that look like Off Brands…

Estate, when they were in Texas—before Federal bought them—were DOD contractors and supplied 00 to our troops in. Viet Nam, if I recollect correctly.
Got to love those 25 round boxes.
The Olin stuff is fine, but the contract over run stuff is what usually makes it to the civilian market and many of the 5 round boxes I’ve seen have poorly crimped shells which are quite obvious, so look 'em over. I wouldn’t want any 00 “pills” escaping and tying up the action on my shotgun.

I’ve used the Estate loads. Nothing special about them. I’d say decent for home defense, but not sure about hunting. Only had a small box to try.

Welcome and thanks for the insight. I still haven’t had the opportunity to take them out and try them.
