I bought a box of these today, 3 1/2 inch two shot. Anyone have any experience with these shells?

I have not shot the 3 1/2's but the 3" shells worked. Both of these wads on this shot are from Black Cloud's they worked very well.

excellent penetration. i patterned them out of my nova and they did well. i jumped a mallard and it got about 3 feet off the water when i shot it in the back. pellets went through the breast bone where others normally stop. worked wonders on those scoters

as well.

It's a skybusters dream, thats for sure!! You have to watch what after market choke tubes you use. Federal had a little clip about it on waterfowler tv. They say the wad wizards/patternmaster type tubes should be avoided because those kinds of tubes temporarely restrict the shot cup, releasing the shot faster, which is the opposite of what BC does. It's supposed to hold the shot together longer to help give you a tigher, more uniform pattern "down range". It doesn't pattern too well out of my extrema2, plus our shots are almost always inside 20 yards, so the stuff is useless for us.

I used the Black Cloud ammo last year on Geese. Won't use it again. Too much of the Breast that was bloodied {Jelly}... Had to cut out and throw away too much meat. Now if the birds had been another 10 or 15 yards further out, that might not have happened. No doubt terminal performance on birds.

I'm looking at buying a case of it. I also noticed that they have a choke tube designed for them any thoughts on this? I think it is probably just a gimmick!
