They are back in Walmart this year
They have the spots cleared for them at both local walmarts here, just don't know when they plan to pull them out. Probably not for another month or so.
Did anyone have any luck with these last year in an 870?

I did, they shot very well for lead
Got mine today to try , they had out all the flavors. 12 gauge in 3" and 3 1/2" in 4.5.6's and the 20 gauge all i saw on the cart were 5's ?
Now to get out and try them. When Antarctica decides to go bye !
They truly amazed me. I like them. I had a box I bought last year and didnt shoot. I took them out and through my 835 and a .690 Jelly Head got 216 in the 10 at 38 yards. For the cost you can beat that with a stick. They are a true contender for my hunting load this year and if they continue to impress me the local wal-mart wont be able to keep them in stock for me buying them all.

I agree with ya. Only thing different with me instead of getting 6's I'll get some 5's. I still have 3 new boxes of 6's from last year and 2 new boxes of 5's. I plan on buying at least 15-20 more if they shoot like the ones from last year
picked up 4 boxes of 3" 5's today

Eric that was with 5's. I have the pattern posted up. Thats what blew my mind. Ive never been a #6 man especially in lead for gobblers.
Dang that's smoking right there. Last year my best #5 pattern was 151 @41 yards. Is that last years shells or this years? That was also with 3.5"
Just picked up 2 more boxes of the 3.5 #5's.

Yeah that was last years shells. I bought them in March I believe. Yeah 3.5 2oz. #5's.
I have 2 boxes from last year 3.5-2-5's. Bought 5 more boxes of 3.5-5's today.hope they shoot the same. I still have 3 full and part of a box of 3.5 # 6's. I should have plenty for this year.
Good Luck to you my friend. I'm going to test them again. Hopefully to the same result. I bought a new 835 and that was the first turkey load I ran through it and with those results it blew my 11-87's patterns away and blew my mind. I reckon Ill never turkey hunt with anything except an 835 again, lol

If you shoot the new shells before I get a chance be sure to post up. If this weather clears up I will shoot one tomorrow, my fingers are crossed.
Let's hope they didn't change anything from last year. Those shells shot very well, and you can't beat the price. Looking forward to seeing some patterns!

Yes. They shot great. Nice even, center-dense patterns with 3" #6's.
Here is a fine example of what they do. This is not the best pattern that gun threw. I'll look and see if I have the patterin I shot with the TruGlow SSX
great shells for the price . I never shot anything but lead because I like to do a lot of choke patterning so the non lead was kinda expensive . these thing are awesome
I can't speak for last year but I bough some to find poi with a new Mossberg I bought and I am blown away. Thought i was just gettin some cheap shells to sight in. Best lead patterns I have ever shot. 3" #5s. I had no plans on shooting lead but I'm not sure why I shouldn't buy 20 boxes and hunt for a LONG time. Awesome for 10 bucks and I mean awesome

If you don't store them submerged in water, or in extreme heat, they should last longer than you or I will be around...
