Years ago, I started to load 12 gauge Turkey loads, and ran some tests to compare similar #6 shot with and without "Grex". The "Grex" increased pattern density by about 25%

Grex is powdered polyethylene. I thought I got it from Ballistic Products years ago, but I just checked and appears they no longer carry it

Tom Roster put out a booklet on long range loads some years ago. I tried some of them using 3 in. 12 ga cases, steel shot wads and buffer from precision reloading. The results were very good, used for called fox and coyote with # 2 shot. It's easier to make them shoot tighter than open them up but the various spreader from Polywad and Ballistic products work well along with the softest shot you can find.
