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

[LaAngler]

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

[meaux fishing]

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...

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

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

[Jordan]

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.

I heard dat.

[yak'em-n-stack'em]

Haha tim. You made a funny

[Woodduck Commander]

hahahahahahaha i see what you did there

[mcjaredsandwich]

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

[noodle creek]

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.

[huntin fool]

Shoot em all the time
