The post or X style wide insert definitely deflects pallets away from the center of the pattern. Creating holes.
I've been shooting the Fiocchi Interceptors for about three years now, regularly, at sporting. I typically use 8-12 spreader rounds on a round, when I'm shooting a course of moderate difficulty, more if it's a softer course with closer stuff. I have patterned them discriminately, because I didn't want to put my confidence in a load that wouldn't deliver. The patterns I have shot at various ranges, 20 yards and under, have not shown any obvious holes, nor detrimental patchiness. And (drum roll), they have the X post in the center.
