Not technically my first shotgun. I do have a 25 year old Nova turkey gun that I shoot once or twice a year for a clay tournament for work/industry. This Ultima Patrol is my first home defense shotgun.
I ordered a bunch of SuperX 9 pellet 00 buck, and next is to start building a stash of Flite Control or similar. What's a good Flite Control alternative for super tight and effective home defense loads? I also am going to put a CROM with a circle dot Sig or Holosun micro on it, and figure out how to get a sling attached to the rear. What other cool shotgun stuff should I be doing? |

Take that thing out and “Choot it Lizbeth! “
Fun gun! ETA: Only other thing I did was put a sling on it and make sure the mag/barrel band was tight so it wouldn’t move. No problems. |

Sling, light and side saddle. That's it.

I don’t think there is a Flight Control alternative. Hornady makes ammo with the same wad, but they don’t shoot as well in my gun. You may have different results.
Add a light and side-saddle or shotgun cards. Shotgun thread:  Attached File |

Shoot it a lot and get familiar with it.

I would clean it really well.
I have an Ultima and it ran fine for most of the first box. Then I started getting FTEs more and more often over the course of the next 4-5 boxes. It had some white "grease" in there that caked up pretty good. It felt more like partially dry joint compound than grease. |

There are some great optic mounts for them.
AIM has police trade in federal tactical with flight control for $7-8 a box right now |

Take it out and shoot it some. Mine had a weak mag spring that would cause the last round to not jump onto the elevator occasionally.
I replaced the factory spring and it works great now. I also put a limbsaver recoil pad on with the smaller spacer as the factory pad is hard and the length of pull is way short out of the box. |

Take a shotgun class. Do matches. Keep it clean and oiled. Have fun with it. |

Also, Academy carries Monarch 00Bk in 25 round boxes for around $13.
Way cheaper than any of the big companies buckshot and it runs great. |

Replace the magazine tube spring. They are known for taking a set very very quickly.
I like the GGG mag tube cover and clamp over the plastic OEM parts. Otherwise light, sling, optic, ammo. |

Another thought. Your A300 should have come with a Velcro piece cut for the left side of the receiver.
Clean the surface with an alcohol pad/wipe and install it. Esstac makes nice shotshell cards that work well with the Velcro pad. |

Definitely a pro lifter (if you can find one)
A light if you want. Shell cards. Maybe replace that cheesy plastic tube cover with an aluminum one from Nordic. |
