Best duck shell under $15/box?

[CP]

What’s the best cheap shell out there? 

I haven’t found anything that outperforms the Win Xpert. or is cheaper.

[WAcoyotehunter]

I really like the winchester xperts too!  I have had bad luck with the other cheap ones...including remington sportsman...junk!

[ducksdogsdownriggers]

When they're not sold out, you can by a case of BC 2 3/4"  3's at http://store.rogerssportinggoods.com/servlet/-strse-2638/federal%2C-federal-premium%2C-federal/Detail for $139 including shipping, or $14/box.  Can't beat that!

sometime you can find kent faststeel for $12-14. i usually just use the cheapy xperts over decoys tho. seem to work.

i always had great luck with the federal hi speed steel stuff. usually 15 a box and hammers em right. always had problems with remington and winchester shells. not sure why, but always have. they get jammed a lot for me. federal and heavi metal have never jammed once

Hevi-metal is a great round. i dont shoot federals because of price. where are you finding them for under $15? all the ones i find are closer to $20   

[CountryslickR]

I really like Kent faststeel...usually go with 3 inch 4's or 2's..

Have you tried looking online for them? like Cheaperthandirt.com or anything?  What Estates did you like?

[General Disarray]

Estates are made by Federal. 

Best deal around, 3" 1-1/4oz Federal Steel at Roger's for $99.99 shipped to your door.  Beats Kents, Xperts, and Remington. 


I buy most of my shells after the season.  Last year I bought 3 cases at an average of about $5.50 a box.

I havent looked online for them. hate to give up my area. but dennis co. used to stock them and i would always stop by and pick up a couple boxes for $10 apiece. those things worked as good as any steel shot ive ever used under $20. 1 1/4 3"  #2 or BB , i ended up with a case of xperts im shooting this year. but i would trade those in a second for the estates

[Malardman]

Man it's so close a $1 more Fiocchi Golden Duck $16.00, But $15 and under Winchester Xpert Both 3'' #2's

[Lightning_Rider]

theres a few places online where you can get wichester supremes for around $16 per box.those shoot pretty well, Jeff foiles killed tons of geese at city parks with em

How much?

[sakoshooter]

Over the years Kent Fasteel has been one of the best and consistent patterning shells I've patterned.

At rogers? I gotta get in on that

no, not at roger's... I'll let you know, after they go on sale.

[BigGoonTuna]

i'm having bad luck with sportsmans jamming in my gun.  i wouldn't think that'd be too odd in an auto but it's an 870! i see wally world has nitro steel for around $15 a box, i might have to try those.

My experience with Remington shotshells, No Bueno 

[Stickerbush]

I found the winchesters xpert steel at wal mart for 8.50 a box for 2 3/4 and maybe a dollar more for 3 inch, bought a box for me and two for my friend. But usually I just wait for the bi mart sales I rarely pay more than 12 bucks there.

[muleyslayer#1]

the cheapest thats takes down ducks i believe is kents i did work with them shells but i got 3" 3 shot and got 2 in one shot dropped 4 though

[sakoshooter]

I have my best luck with Kent Fasteel. Best and most consistant patterning load I've patterned. The 'blue box' Federals were some of the worst patterning of the factory loads I tried. Never tried the 'red box' Federals just because of the high price.
I know what this thread is about but price is unimportant if they pattern so bad that you have to shoot 2 or 3 more because they crippled rather than killed. The cheaper shells do not have the quality components in them like the more expensive shells do for the most part.

[jason4429]

I have 30 boxes of high velocity magnum steel by estate.3in #2's.If anyone is interested p.m me

[elkslayer069]

I 3inch #2s with a mod choke seem to work the best out of my 870  i use them on wigeons to honkers

[jason4429]

That is what i use most of the time .Every once in a while i use #4's.
