Title: I think I got a good deal, what do you think?

Got these at a local gun shop here.  Usually a high priced place.  He said they ordered them in new this year.   I am having him get me 4 more boxes at the same price.   ;D

Not sure what you paid, but they're about $42 @ BPS!

That is what I see them for every where else.  That is why I bought all he had.

I guessed 35.00, that's what they are at my local GS, but at BP and Cabelas around there they are 40+

Yep, $30.  Just couldn't pass it up.  Think they'll do well through my 835 and PG .670!!

Those look like the original Xtended Range Winchesters that patterned so well befor they became the Elite ones.  If so,  how could they have ordered them new this year???

Just what he told me.  I checked each box for leaking buffer and none, either

Well I guessed $20 a box since you made this post. 

But $30 is still cheap.  You done good.  Just think how long it will be before you need anymore turkey ammo.  LOL! 

Nothing like a great find.

You got a great deal there Ray.  Those are the same exact shells I have for this year and I paid right around $38 a box for them through Midway and I picked up 4 boxes.

He thinks he can get more at the same price.  I told him I'd take 4 more boxes.  Just trying to figure out a back up if I get away from TSS.  Too much inconsistency in Hevi for me to want to worry about.  I'll post up patterns from the 835 and PG .670 when I get a chance to shoot!!

I will be very interested in seeing your patterns with your setup.

My box is old but it had 22.99 on it. I guess it was older than I thought. They are great in my 835.

Sugar, please confirm for me that those boxes don't say Elite on them???   If that's the case, they aren't the Elite ones that came out a few years later.

They do not say ELITE.

I came across a similar deal and wiped em out.  They are lights out through my 835 and Indian Creek .675 tube.

That's an awsome deal, Raymond!
Please post up pics. I would be very interested to see your results.
