Both Hornady Critical Defense and Federal FliteControl both use essentially the same wad to keep the shot together, so why does the Critical Defense perform so much worse than the Federal load? In his article "Federal’s Flite Control vs. Hornady’s Versa-Tite," Nate at the Shotgun Blog writes:
The Hornady load, even though it has the same basic wad design, does not shoot nearly as tight as the Federal Flite Control. I think this is largely due to using standard lead pellets, a higher muzzle velocity, and lack of buffer material. Even though the wads of both loads probably fall off the payload at about the same distance, odds are the Hornady pellets have more deformation than the Federal pellets. This causes more fliers, and explains the uneven pattern density.
