Winchester shotgun shells
 

Bought some winchester xpert hi-velocity shells from Walmart the otherday. Their steel shot.$6.00/box Anyone ever use these?? Are they ok for ducks?? Bought 6 boxes.#2 and #4 shots for my 12 and 20 gauge.

Damn $6 a box! Were they on sale? Yes they are fine for ducks. That is what I shoot most of the time.

don't think you can return ammo so they better be good enough :D

I dont like em... cut one of the shells open the BB's are not all round

Are those the shells in the chrome boxes? I saw some in Wal-Mart the other day, thought it was some special edition ***** shells or something...

Yeah they were re modeling

I did the same thing a few years back, got the same result ,hardly any of em round. wasnt a pretty pattern. Think I might try some kents this year.

kents are what i shoot. I bought a case this year on tax free ammo weekend for $12.50 a box:D

Jordan, they will be fine. That's all I shoot, you still have to hit them if the BB's are round or not. ;)


They are 2 3/4", the FPS on them is 1450 for 1 1/8 oz and 1550 for 1 1/16 oz, that is hauling ***, never saw steel hit a duck so hard until I shot these. I used to shoot all the big shells, now all I shoot are these in my Beretta, and life is good, best shooting I have ever done, don't have to lead much with these, just point and shoot. :)

I use them too. But I use 7 1/2s. I get better penetration. With that than a 4

20 gauge #2 (7/8oz shot) are 1500fps
12 gauge #4 (1-1/16oz shot) are 1550 fps
12 gauge #6 (1oz shot) are 1325 fps

I shoot Kent sometimes as well. I dont see any difference b/w them and XPerts. AND only place that sells them conveniently enough for me to buy them is Billy's in Pecan Island. And they will run u close to $20/box for 3" over there. So I only buy them if I am out of Xperts. That place is rediculous but its about 500 yards from my camp. We always laugh, can of OFF=$9.50 at Billy's. They know u gotta have it I guess.

Supply and demand my friend...

:*****: I heard dat.

Haha tim. You made a funny

hahahahahahaha i see what you did there

bought two boxes of the #6 2 3/4" @ 1400fps. Not bad. Same price, only last year.

cut open one of the shells. no matter the shot size there will be #2, 3, 4, maybe even 6 shot inside. also the bb's are not even close to being perfectly round. past about 30 yards they do not perform well, but the price is hard to beat.

Shoot em all the time

The way you shoot they'll be just fine Pookie.;)
