Title: what shells ?????
Post by: crow_zach on February 12, 2012, 09:49:00 AM
I got 835 with pure gold 670 choke looking for shells to give good patteren and dont want to pay the prices of hevi's and the whinchester extended range are about the same price . Are there any other good shells. How are the remington nitros or the whinchester supremes. or will they not cut it. looking for good pattern out to 40 yards.

We have a lead shooters section that can help you with that.

Winchester Supreme 3.5" HV 2oz #6's should be great from that set up.  I run the StarDot choke and get 130-150 in the 10" @ 40yds with them.


Clean and polish that barrel first.

I like the Federal flight control wad shells. Many others seem not to,but they have worked for me.

When I was shooting lead that's what  my gun  liked the best.  3" #6's

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe I read somewhere that you aren't suppose to use the wad stripping chokes with the Federal Flite Control wads.  The PG is a wad stripping choke.
