thats what i asked and i was told it was a sky busters dream. so it was inconclusive to me.  :dunno: im going to pattern them out of my nova this weekend though. if the load does what it says it does then that would be pretty cool. we'll see though

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

I shot them last weekend for the opener, and i was pleased with them. I was pretty rusty, so i can't really say i gave them a thorough testing.

Buddy of mine used them as well, and he said he loves them. I still need to pattern some through my nova as well.
Take her easy, and if she's easy take her twice.

been using it and there has been a noticable difference between them and the cheap stuff. real good penitration. i heard  you cant use them with the patternmaster chokes cuz of the grooves in the choke that are made to separate the wad from the shot better. cuz the black cloud has that flight control wad and all.
