Last month I acquired some of their Herter's Select 00 buckshot for coyote calling. It does not have the velocity and punch of other brands' standard loads, even from the European manufacturers. Pattern is just ok but really falls apart past 25 yards.
The Herter's rifle ammo I have chronographed over the past couple of years has never met advertised FPS. In one of last year's American Hunter issues, Herter's rifle ammo was tested, and they also experienced significant shortcomings in the FPS department.
I never use Herter's rifle ammo for actual field work. Only for testing hardware. I'm going to try the buckshot on coyotes, but plan to limit shots to short ones because I don't care for tracking.
