Shot shells
 

Whats your favorite brand of shotgun shells for duck hunting????
Whats your favorite size shot and load?
Whats the best middle brand or reasonably priced brand??

I've always shot winchester drylok 3" #2 or #3...Now the load I'm not sure of??

Inputs and suggestions???

I've always shot Win.Drylok 20 gauge 2 3/4 number 4's. Knocked geese down with em.

I switched to remington shurshot high volicty, 2 3/4 number 4's and love em

Same here... WHatever is cheaper.. When you are a good shot like me, you dont need all that heavy shot, or bismuth... lol

I usually grab the Estate 3'' #2's... best all around shell for ducks and geese i think

Estates or the Kent Fasteel. Both in 10 and 12 gauge. Work good for me.

I shot Estate since they were sold down here.
The price of them things were way less than the big brand names.
And they can knock down ducks just as good as any other shells.

i shoot the X-pert 3 inch 6 when i can find them

or a 3 inch number 4

3 inch 2's, estate/kent

I always shoot estate 3 1/2s #2 or 3 Really good shell for the price

I use to shoot estate but went to Kent 3' #4's &3's they are a little cleaner on the gun

lol

my gun isnt worried about being clean ahha

she shoots from underwater sometimes

her name is gertrude

kent fast steel 20 ga 3"

Been knocking them down sence 2001;D
Going on youth weekend, the 7th&8th Ill rub in my kill to all you ole scally wags :thefinger:

mine's name is black betty...


that girl gets a cleaning after every hunt :D

KENT OR ESTATES is all i shoot 2's and 3's work good for me.....mainly 2/34"

no probs with hangups with kent???

i shoot a benelli they shoot anything

absolutly love their show on outdoor channel...got'em all on DVR!!! they are some hardcore dudes for sure!

I got the new browning maxus and am contemplating shooting some technically lower end shells just to she if she'll eat with no prob...

i do too i was on the outdoor channel website trying to watch them but they aren't on there...can't never seem to catch them while i'm home....maybe one day i'll have me one of them dvr's

they are worth it...love mine

Kent to me is the best. Fasteel...3" 1-1/4" #3 or #4 for ducks. For geese and later on the season since I mostly hunt in a rice field I use 3-1/2" 1-3/8 #2.
BTW, Benelli is the best.....what is their motto "Performance worth the price"

kent 3" #3s two years not problem lot better than estates.

best place to get kent in sulphur/LC area??

Not sure about the LC area. But their is this place in Kaplan called ED's sporting goods and he has a large selection of Kent shells.

Wow you must be rich. Have you priced 3" Dryloks this year there a little rich for my blood. Fast steel, estate, Kents works for me.

I have never had any problems that i can think of from the lower end shells.

The only problem I ever had with the estates would be they rusted pretty quickly. Other than that, no problems at all.

Sulphite is loaded with $$$$$$$$. Why do you think he is a MOD....Only the RICH and POWERFUL are Mods on this site~~~Suprised he does not shoot Bismuth Shells....:grinpimp::D

pffffttt...I use bismuth for shooting red wing black birds...

G&H now has a "G&H" name brand shot shell.. You can pick them up at G&H seed in Gueydan.. Pretty decent price to.. I started shooting them twords the end of the season last year..

Black Cloud at skeet huh?

I sure didn't know that. I may have to pick up a few boxes next time I'm on my way back from Cameron and check them out.

I dunno who makes them... I think it might be a local thing... Im not sure, I may have even herd them say its the same thing as Fiocchi..

I have even bout a few cases from a guy that comes to the hunting camp.. He comes every year with a brand called "Lavyalle" or something.. came out to 8 dollars a box for some 3'' #2's..

Are they a little cheaper then the Kent or Xprert??

Has anyone tried the Rio steel shot?

No, can you compare it to a kent, estate, federal???

what about Nichols in Dequincy?

they used to be cheap on estate, but that was "Back in the day"

Fiochhi aint bad stuff and it's like 11 a box

Hadn't shot any, just heard about them earlier this dove season.

ED's I believe sells RIO.....This that the ones made in South America???? I remember he had some had off brand shells. I think Cabelas sells them to.

I am a Jr. Moderator in Training. But I ain't rich.

Ray I am sure once you lose the JR status your life will change...$$$$$$......Just ask Sulphite.....:grinpimp::p

i like me some Hevishot 3 1/2 inch 10 gauge tungsten wen im hunting in timber....when im in marsh i shoot 3 inch x-pert hi vi's 2 shot...

X-PERT
 

Winchester X-Pert ( the one's with the mallard on the front of the box)

They are 2 3/4 high brass but only 1 and 1/16 oz of shot, 1550 FPS, I like them in #4 shot. They are fast as heck, less lead is needed, and they hit hard!

You can get them for about $8 a box at wally world when they have them.

I use to shoot all the big heavy loads, 12 and 10 guage, but I had a brother in law always shoot these and he could knock down anything I could. Made a believer out of me!

Shoot these with my Extrema 2 with the kick-off, and no more recoil, those days are over. I quess we do get wiser with age!!

bRich
 

Yea your right he's got more money that JayZ.

Not me... Im so poor that if someone robs me, they would just be practicing

I can't afford to pay attention. :shaking:

Cajun Fast Mart in Carlyss has the Kent and Estate. Usually a pretty good selection and decent price.

I'm glad you came clean H2O, now I know why bust them ducks up :*****::*****:
