Heavy shot is far from the best. There is a lot of good ammo out there. I buy what is on sale:http://www.rogerssportinggoods.com/ammunition-federal-steel-c-35_36.html
I have tested the blindside shells with horrible luck myself. I thought they were the coolest thing till I shot them. Worst patterns I've got form any load out of five different shotguns with several chokes in each.
What i have heard from nearly every great waterfowler is to find a shell that patterns well and gets the job done, then buy cases of it.
anything but xperts! i about junked my gun until i gave some other shells a try...xperts wouldn't pattern worth a damn in the best case, worst case they shot a foot and a half low and to the right.i've been shooting federal blue box this year with much, much better results.
I guess that demonstrates that you really need to find out what your gun likes and then stick with it.
