Best duck shell under $15/box?
« on: December 15, 2010, 01:42:11 PM »
What’s the best cheap shell out there? 

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

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!

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

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.
hey, where's Professor Chaos? Anyone seen him?
