My uncle dropped off an unopened case of these shells today. Who remembers hunting with these?

I did.

Still have a few boxes of 2's and one of BB for my BPS 10 gauge.  The BB doesn't pattern worth a hoot with any tube I own.  The 2's are absolutely MONSTROUS !!!  Any fox or coyote within 70-75 yards of the front of that combo won't survive it.

Great load! I've killed a few hundred pheasants with those. Three years ago my son flattened his first turkey with that exact load.

I still use the newer type. I've used many "types"  of that shell. The birds I shot this year were w it. I still think it's best. The box has had changes n slight name changes but Winchester swears they're the same. How come I doubt it
