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!

I wouldn't go buy a case...get a box or 2 try it out, pattern it etc..  Its pretty spendy.  I'll just stick to my Winchester Xperts.

I tried shooting the Win. xperts and did not like them I got a box of hold on let me go check....................12ga 3.5 1625fps 1 1/4 bb if you want them they are yours.  I normally use feds.  I will do what you said and buy a box or two and pattern them.

Yeah, you guys make more money than I do. I shoot the Expert, and the Drylok, a whole lot less cash per box.... I have been stocking up since last season....easier to pay a little each month, than to lay all that cash down come fall...

90% of the time it is cheaper to buy a case.  So if you save your money until the fall and make interest on it in the long run that is the most finacially smart way to buy. :chuckle:

Might be cheaper that way, but atleast this way my wife aint finding a huge ass hit on the VISA in the fall...  "Honey, look how little this is costing me!"  Besides, i keep finding steel shot at Sportsmans for 9 to 11 bucks a box... this aint too bad.... :dunno:

This will be my third year duck hunting, and our first with a dog, if my buddy gets him ready... To be honest with you, I will probably not joint the tourney, but it does sound really fun.  My goal this year is to help get that dog working well, and also to get my son on a few ducks.... Cant wait!

What the heck, I will atleast pass the idea by my buddy, he does not visit this site...

I hope you guys do join.  It's a free tourny just to inspire some competition during the season.  Only work that is required is posting some pictures at the end of the week!

I shot a couple boxes of Black Cloud last season with mixed feelings.  Did the shot put down birds stone dead.....yes.  I shot BC mostly for geese and the shots were from 15 to 40 yards. 

After shooting 2 boxes I  had less cripples, but the shot tore everything up.  When cleaning out the birds, it took me much more time to cut out and get rid of all the coagulated blood.  The shells will do  the job at putting birds down, but for me there is too much meat lost with how much damage the shot creates.
