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.

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"
